    Got a short antenna at AutoZone for $9

    Replace the long (for the car) antenna with this stubby one. Works perfectly, and looks much better.

    Ill have to look into that. The car already has a certain childish appearance without an RC car antenna hanging off the roof.

    Not at all. So far it seems to be just as good as the factory whip.

    I've been thinking about the antenna for the longest time. Will look into it sooner or later.

    Looks good. I had a good laugh at the comment that referenced the remote controlled car.

    Do you have a part number for the antenna? I've been searching all over the autozone website and cannot come up with the same item. Thanks!
