Mounting short 2.4Ghz Antenna in RC10T3
Hello,
I have a RC10T3 and I just bought a Airtronics MX-Sport 2.4Ghz Radio.
My question is do I mount the short antenna wire in a antenna tube?
It will only stick out of the body about an inch.
Or are these made to be inside the body not showing from the outside.
If so, do I still use a tube??
Thanks

Maybe I'm missing something but I've always read that antennas should be straight and not coiled especially the 2.4GHz type. Sure it may still work but the range will be severly reduced.

Just have it upright at least 3 inches, and you'll be fine up to line of sight.
Any farther, and you won't even be able to see the vehicle.
I go shorter (2.5) all the time with NO issues at large tracks.

Do you mean 2.5" to 3" from the chassis? This would put it inside the body. That sounds good and it would keep it neat inside the chassis.
Thank you
and Thank everybody for the responses.

just use the short anntenna tube and have it stick out of the body for the cleanest and most effective look.
