Why does my truck appear to be the only one with an antenna that sicks out of the truck?

It's not the only one. All stock tricks game the antenna driving out the top. Some drivers remove the straw and wrap the antenna up sorry inside the truck. Because if your racing on a track the truck is not that far way from you and the added distance is not going tip effect the racer.

Traxxas trucks have the antenna that sticks out.other brands may or may not.

All of these have an antenna that sticks out. Many people take the plastic piece off and put the antenna inside under the body.

I actually have one in my RV but have a truckers antenna rather than the magnetic mount antenna. There was no place to put the magnet mount antenna and the trucker antenna was better. You have to be close to the inside antenna for it to work. I do have service in places where other people don't and have on 2 occasions letother people use it in an emergency. Wilson has very good service. You might contact them for recommendations.

If it is a very thin wire, then that is not normal. There should be solder pads on the board where the other motor control wires are connected. If it is a single wire coming from the board, that is the antenna and is suppose to be loose. Source: ive re-built this thing 8 times.

I haven't used an antenna. I have mine mounted on top of center console and it stays covered with the Bimini top with no noticeable satellite interference. Standard Horizon says if you flush mount you need an antenna though, not sure what the model number is but I have seen them on amazon under the section labeled " customers who bought this also bought these items". It is a pretty sweet unit, I love mine. I can navigate tight turn unmarked dredged channels without the spotlights at night.

The antenna is about 8-10" from the top of the vehicle and 12-14" from the ground.

The truck probably has a burnt out motor or a burnt out motor controler. Yiu can purchase those parts on amazon or hobby shop Websites. You could go to your local hobby and have them look at it as well. Those things are easy to change. Hope this helps.

I had zero issues with mine, definitely remove the radio again and check your antenna connection

I have a crew cab F-150 with a 5'5 bed and I don't have a problem getting the signal. Every once in a while it will go out but comes right back. I love having this system.

ny satellite radio works great but It may have another input, I have a 2014 f-150 stx supercrew cab. so my truck also has a "bump" antenna on the top of the passanger side of the truck.

It's a single DIN radio. Look for a single DIN dash kit for the truck and if you find one it'll fit, if you don't find one then you're out of luck

Yes, in fact that's mostly what I use on it, the radio seems pretty good too but it's a little fuzzy, that could have to do with my antenna though. Great radio for the price.

I just set my antenna on top of the head unit inside the dash. Haven't had an issue with it in that last six months

Mine is terrible, too. This may be because my antenna is located outside the car, on the left rear fender.

Myself just removed the over the air antenna and used extincting hole. Hope this helps

In most cases the problem when your comPilot quits streaming or streams intermittently, the antenna is the culprit. Hope that this helps. Dennis

What Robert D. said. Back in January I went on a wheelin' trip with about 20 other trucks. Many of them had 2' Firestiks mounted on the bedrail with a similar situation as you describe, just a few inches above the roofline. It was found that very few at the back half of the line could receive the lead truck. With my roof mounted 2' FS, I could receive fine from one end to the other. Of course, I was hitting more low hanging branches and such but if you can't hear the person transmitting, then having a CB is pretty pointless anyway, yeah?

Shouldn't be the screen causing this. Maybe the antenna connection needs to be checked? Mine worked great! Good luck.
