CJ's faq has a part number to order a new one. or you could use solid single strand wire. or get an antenna and "tune" it. IDK how to tune it though

hey heres an easy fix,
take a zip zap antenna and use that, just wrap the metal around the screw and just thred it through the hole in your car.
or you could snip it off of a old tyco rc car  thats what i did when i broke the antenna off my overland mini z.
glad to help(if it did  )
