Radio Antannae

[SilentHunterKellen]

Well I know I spelled antannae wrong but This may sound careless-Today I broke my savages radio antannae. It was windy and I was putting it in and the wind blew the radio and it broke. Where can I get a replacement?

Which antenna? The one on your radio or the one attached to the receiver?

Yes to either antenna (although you post refers to the transmitter). The transmitter one you need to check to see if your LSH can get you one (or has one) or order online someplace. As for the receiver, if you ever damage one you can replace the wire. I bought a spool of wire for several dollars from a hobby shop that was the same thing as Futaba uses in gauge and type. all I had to do was make sure the length was the same as the original (as closely as possible), then take the receiver apart and desolder and resolder the one in its place. Works great now!

The transmitter. My lhs is also a Paintball store (Wohoo ElPirata!) but they dont carry it and can't get it. They said check tower which I've been trying all day. Which brand would also work? Futaba? Airtronics? Hi-Tec?

 

[SkyMaxx]

You could check and see if they have the antenna for the HB Dirt Demon. They use the same transmitter.

One for a Futaba should work also. Just make sure the end of it has a threaded part sticking out (like a bolt) and not a hole. This is assumuning that it's the stock HPI radio.
