My grandson was playing with the R/C transmitter

and broke the antenna. It is the old style Aristo 27 mHz Trackside that I use in a battery car.

Does anyone know of a replacement antenna for the transmitter?

#2

I think Aristo has them, both “telescoping” and “rubber duck”. Give their service department a call.

#3

Radio Shack as well I think?

#4

I found one at Radio Shack. I will call Aristo in the morning, because it is always nice to have a backup, and their price is quite a bit less than the Shack.

Thanks, all.

Steve: I use All Electonics for a lot of my electronic parts and they have a 45" antenna for RC equipment - 45" TELESCOPING RC TX ANTENNA CAT# ANT-50 $2.50 each . Take a look at theres and see if it will work as a replacement. http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/ANT-50/45-TELESCOPING-RC-TX-ANTENNA/1.html

Steve, I use the rubber duck antennas and the grandkids even carry them by the antennas. They have proven to be resilient to kids of all ages.

And I had both styles and really didn’t see any range improvement with the telescoping one.

But it does make a better back scratcher.....;)

Sadly, Aristo doesn’t list the rubber ducky as being in stock.

Aristo used to replace the telescope antenna for free. I broke 2 in the past and just an email got me replacements.

You could just use a long piece of wire, I did that with the 75 mhz unit when I needed an antenna real fast.
