  • how can i add an antenna to my rc car, i just bought a cheap Corvette car from Wal-Mart and it doesn't even have an external antenna, so the range is like 10 ft. On the box it says the range is 65'/20m but it doesn't go that far. Is it because I am in a building with a lot of other electronics going? I thought maybe a longer antenna would fix it

  • A longer antenna probably will fix it. Do you have any experience in soldering? It should be fairly easy to solder on a longer antenna. You can use any piece of wire, really.

  • yeah i can solder, thanks for the advice

  • Yea, no problem \m/

  • LOL as soon as i put this on a car went over the top of my car and the antenna tube lived thx 5/5!

  • Haha cool, glad to know it works!

see all

  • /\m/\ YO man!!!

  • This guy mumbles too much

  • Thanks for the post, that's a very cool idea!  I'm going to do this with all my RC's. Maybe no music next time <shrug> kinda made you hard to hear. Thanks again!

  • @squierplayer Thats what you get for buying an RC from Walmart.

  • Good idea.. but the Dollar store has 'sticks' for helium balloons that fit Perfect over antena.. 4' long.. Works like a charm

  • Just to give you a heads up tip on antennas. They are made to a certain length and the system is tuned for that length of antenna wire. You shouldn't mess with the length or gauge of the wire. There is a reason for different lengths from different brands.

  • Cool tip. I'm gonna do it today!

  • thanks for this video man.

  • nice man
