    Hey folks!

    Just was wondering if anyone new if the aeriel wire from a reciever in a buggy is anything specific had some aeriel issue on the weekend and managed to melt the aeriel onto the manifold!!

    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Twisted strand copper
    0.12 to 0.25 mm 2

    A servo extension cable has three strands of it.

    Thanks guys!

    I have some Cat 5 here but its single core so I think it may break and or crack eventually?

    The other is of the same gauge about 22 gauge and isnt copper.
    However I believer that the length is more important? :)

    Dont worry too much about the thickness of it, just get the length the same as the original.

    cheers for the help guys.

    I had a gander at the Futaba site (its a futaba RX) and they stated that ground based receivers are 19 1/2 " in length.
    Ill cross reference this with whats left of my original and see!

    Thanks again
    Nick.

    You can pick it up for a few euros at a LHS, but like The Doktor says it needs to be the same lenght as original which is usualy 1mtr long, maybe shorter in RXs for surface models???
