Had a chat with Otley Modelsport on Tuesday, got home and ordered some bits, and they arrived today, great service, and fantastic customer support, didn't mind explaining stuff, as it's been 30yrs since I last raced rc, and gave honest opinions on what to (and not to) buy. Just waiting on buggy kit to be released and delivered.
Quick question though, the antenna on the receiver is so short, what do you do with em, lie flat in the chassis, or have a little tube sticking up out of the shell?
Bit late to the mansplaining on this one but the wavelength of 2.4Ghz is about 12cm which means that the ideal efficiency antenna, normally a ground planed quarter wave for an application like this, is about 3cm for the radiating element.
