Internal aerial

Post by madmonk »

Hi All
I have been lurking around this site for a while, getting some very useful information, but I am stuck and need some advice.
I have a Taigen Tiger 1 with the metal lower hull and want to fit an internal aerial.
I have found one on ebay (Item number: 260826423186) that I have previously used on my nitro cars, but I am not sure whether it will work with metal hull and thicker plastic of my tank.
Any advice will be much appreciated.

Don't waste your money, a simple section of 16 or 18 gauge wire coiled inside the Hull well work very well. This method has been used on all my tanks without reception problems.

The plus that we have with our tanks is that we do not need to have 5-600 meters of range, so any signal loss you may have will stay unnoticed.
