Default Radio Wire Fell Out.

The Receiver's wire on my HPI E-Firestorm Flux fell out.

What do I need to get it back up and running?

Just a new receiver with the same crystal?


Thanks.

this is the antenna wire that your talking about right? if so you could just re solder a new length of wire in place of the old one. i have ripped the antenna wire out on several of my rc's and just soldered a new length in. hope this helps.
