Beat-sonic JDM shark fin antenna install.

I went through and put on my beat-sonic shark fin antenna yesterday at lunch. It took me all of about 3 minutes.

You basically just unscrew the rc antenna from the base, attach the brass ring at the end of the wire in the shark fin using the supplied bolt. Then take of the backing from the tape and stick it on.

The reception is just as good as the OEM if not better. Just make sure you line it up good before you stick it down because the tape is pretty strong.

For $115 I think it looks like it should have come that way from the factory. The paint was a perfect match too.











There are more pics and info on my blog at www.jadecrew.com.

I decided to put the retail price in there cause the GB is over. I did not pay retail.

If you order you will have to wait until mid november to receive the antenna through the group buy. I'm thinking about just buying it outright lol.
