Default Antenna length?

Just put an Etronix Pulse EX3G 2.4 into my B4.1 and on testing it, I found that the range was much less than my previous RTR wheel Associated receiver.
The range is only about 50metres

May seem an obvious one this, but the receiver wire is much shorter on the Etronix. Is this normal? has it been shortened? or am I doing something wrong?

Bought the item of here as NIB.

many thanks in advance

Darren

hi buddy are you using good batteries or could they be nearly flat in the tx?

the receiver wire should have a slimmer piece sticking out the end?

may be worth rebinding it to see if that has anything to do with it.

if these are all fine i.e new batteries receiver wire has the slim bit on the end and has been rebound and still having the problems see the seller as they probably had similar problems hence selling it

Thanks for the advice. I will try re-charging the batteries first. It took a while to bind so hopefully this wont be necessary.
