if you want, just add a bit of lenght to the end of the wire... just solder a bit extra wire on and heat shrink it... it very easy

You will lose a little range on the car.

This may be the wrong place to ask but is the JR Z-1 indentical to the Helios except for the module. Do you guys build it or do they. I know i trust KO quality but i have never had a JR so i dont know what to expect.

KO PROPO did an OEM of just the transmitter to JR. They have rebadged it and included their module and receiver. All service is handled by JR, since it is not our product.

Replacement antennas are available so that you can do it yourself.

To all that helped me-Spektrum worked flawlessly at the Gate (Indoors,carpet track). I ran a cap on my 12th scale with GTX speed control.

On my Sedan-I ran without a cap and also only had the power save at 3.0 on the Corally MMS3 esc, but no problems. I changed it to 3.5 anyways.

DONT forget to reset your speed controls after installing DSM though!!!
