After a pretty long day of bashing my Slayer Pro in the snow and such (and having to get a pair of knuckles for it, smacked a curb) I took my truck home and back out after installation of the knuckles. When I got out there everything was fine, when I took it to a very acceptable distance it would not respond, fail safe mode, after looking at it further I saw that I was missing the very tip of my antenna. The whole antenna is a black wire with a metal sleeve towards the end and white wire for the last inch or so. I am missing that white wire, I don't know how it happened but that's not my concern, I want to know where I can find a replacement and how to replace it. I have replaced an FM antenna before and it works perfectly. But I have heard the 2.4GHZ antennas can be tricky. Oh, and I have looked in the parts books and tried to do some towerhobbies searches with no luck. All help is greatly appreciated!

I think I should have specified this is on the receiver, and I have absolutely no idea what happened to it. I have been researching more and I now have the idea to pull some of the metal off, and stripping the wire. To increase the range back.

X2 this guy will fix ya up.
Might not seem all that important, But that 1" of wire your missing is the Problem.
