I was wondering - how about holding an RC-slalom challenge in Bitburg some evening?

Just took a look at my car - :wtf: - the antenna cable was in pieces, even the copper wires inside were broken / bitten through ... the damage look too small for a mouse or something ... guess I need to re-cable the thing ... anybody know whether the length of the antenna cable is relevant for RC usage? (I know it is for things like CB radio)

Um yes it is,
the longer the cable the better the reception

apparently the proper lenght depends on the wavelenght you use for the transmission....

but i once shortened the antenna due to a brakage from my rc car and it would still work but the max. reception distance was reduced to around 60% :?

if you're not breaking parts , you are not making enough power

I'll try to fix the antenna, and should have the car up for Bitburg ... may need to pick up some extra fuel, though ...
