AR-3 Antenna Replacement for Wraith

[Sethmetal]

I've searched long and hard and I cannot find the answer.

I opened my receiver box to change the servo. Upon reassembly, apparently, I kinked/crimped the antenna wire.

I read that it is coax, so I cannot simply solder a wire in it's place.

Where can I find a replacement antenna?

How have you guys overcome this issue. Surely, I can't be the first.

Thanks!

I would try to get axial on the phone or by email. I have talked to a few people & seen many posts on here where axial simply sent replacement parts (maybe a rx? 1 guy claimed to get 2 new servo's from em free for his rtr.)
As far as repairing your rx it may be cheaper & easier to get another. I bought a stock servo Tx & Rx in minty shape for 20 bucks local. if you buy a star or atain 50 meaningful posts you can utilize the classifieds on here (lots of stock wraith stuff flowing through there.)

No tech help, sorry
Good luck sir

I just can't believe I couldn't find any posts about it.

The way that axial has the wires clamped in there is really awkward. I understand it's waterproof functionality, and that it does well, but someone else out there has to have crushed the antenna.

well if replacement receiver is the way.....

Does anyone know where I can purchase an AS-3 without the transmitter?

What is another good option for a replacement transmitter?

If you don't get a replacement from Axial, the FlySky FS-GR3C works with the AX-3 radio. The FS-GR3C has the same board as the AS-3.

You can buy them on Ebay for $7.99 including the shipping.

It is the same electronics as the AR-3 so they have the same range. I have been using one for a while without any problems.
