Ok got my T-Maxx 3.3 with a Picco .28 today after the break in i thought i try it out at full speed and on a turn i put the breaks on to get the truck to turn and as i did the truck did acouple spins and somehow snapped the Antenna is there a way to add to whats left or replace the wire???:bow:
 
It's never wise to just do a quick splice since it might lead to a bigger problem eventually. Your best bet is to pick up a new one at the LHS and solder it into the receiver.
That's the permanent fix, and it will end any other worries.
 
if its the antenna on the truck, they are pretty specific about the length with the stock systems. you can get a new wire from tower or the lhs pretty cheep. then its just a matter of taking the rx apart and soldering on the new one..

its pretty simple if you have basic soldering knowledge.
