How do you antenna chop or get the smaller antenna, or where do you buy one? I've seen many SS's wit the lowered antenna.

 

Cut it to whatever length you want and stick a vacuum cap on the end. I found one at a local hobby shop. Thats the free way to do it anyway...

 

Go to advance auto pick up a universal rubber antenna and chop it down to the metal piece and i think it was $6. I'll take a pick in a lil bit..

 

I cut the ball on the tip of it off then cut the antenna to the length I wanted and just epoxied the ball back on. Also, I mixed a little black paint in when I mixed up the epoxy so it color matched!!

 

Still get every station also

 

i took mine off entirely.... i heart radio app ftw!!

 

when you say chop it down. do you mean like cut it off, how do you cut it out without ruining the piece

 

i got the mpx shorty antenna from modern performance. works great and easy to install.

Gives step by step instructions on how to cut your antenna down.

 

Are you asking me? It comes with a rubber dick antenna about 2ft long and you can cut it anywhere cause its just for looks It literally has nothing in it and you get all the reception from that metal piece in the pic. It comes with a few adapters to fit a bunch of cars.

 

I originally had cut mine down via the how to that was just posted and my reception was way worse than stock. Just got an ebay CF nub for 13.00 shipped the other day, the reception is back to as good as stock now, and it looks way better.

 

How do you remove the antenna, i may just buy the 20.00 one and install it myself. i just tried to remove the antenna wit a pair of pliers n twisted it. messed up the paint -.-

 

I have the MPx Shorty

 

You have to remove the antenna for the MPx one too though, so how do you remove the antenna?

 

Ark Performance Antenna

Still get excellent reception.

 

twist

it unscrews

 

Wrap the pliers with a rag first to protect the paint.

If it still spins, try the search button. There are a ton of threads that say how to deal with it then.

 

dont want to scratch the RC mod!

 

MPx shorty..it's under 20 bucks I believe, looks good and still get perfect reception. I've heard bad things about the Ark one..my .02

 

I just cut mine down with a hack saw to 12", still get the same reception as stock. Thought I had a picture of it but I don't.

 

Don't waste your money on buying an actually shorty, just cut your stock one down to your desired height then add a vacuum cap to the end of it, they only cost $1.50 vs $20 for a shorty
