question..with the rx antenna, the antenna stays straight within the antenna pipe (or whatever it's called) right? and the pipe is cut to size to be a bit longer than the cable...
because the antenna has that extra tip that cannot be cut or bent etc. so the whole cable stays inside the pipe and then the cap on the end, is this correct?

because on my old rtr buggy and car, they have the non 2.4ghz radio systems and the antenna comes out through the end of the pipe and the cap goes over the top, so there is 1 or 2 inches of the antenna exposed out of the antenna pipe..this is not needed with 2.4gig systems right? the whole antenna cable stays straight inside the pipe yeah?

sorry if it doesn't make sense or if i keep repeating myself..


also, is there any benefit to having a LiPo/LiFe in the transmitter? i have Eneloops in now, would a 2S LiPo or LiFe battery be better or worse? like give me extra capacity or something?

thanks
