U have to bend pieces 5-6mm long over 3-4 angles, so each flat not more than 1mm. How do you do such things. I would like to add a few details like this. But after looking at the dimensions, I can't imagine how to finish them.
Thanks! I think that on the Youtube should be some tutorials. I am just using different pliers and knifes...

I bought it on rctank.de... As for me, this wire isn' t necessary, but for some HL and other tanks with 27MHz radio it could be usefull.

AFAIK , the newer 2.4G radio has a micro antenna built-in, only the 27M has an external one.

Interesting...I always thought they were made of wood. Seems like most military pioneering tools used wooden handles well into the '90s.
