Technical Performance
This CB antenna represents careful engineering focused on both form and function. Constructed from strong, durable nylon, the component provides excellent resilience against the impacts and stresses of active trail use. At just 0.9 grams, the antenna's weight is genuinely negligible, meaning your vehicle's performance characteristics remain completely unchanged—whether you're measuring acceleration, handling response, or battery endurance. The 123.6mm length is precisely calculated for 1/10 scale proportions, ensuring the antenna integrates seamlessly with your Mercedes-Benz G truck's body lines and other RC4WD accessories. The black cross head cap self-tapping M1.2 x 5mm screw provides secure, permanent attachment without stripping, and the fastener is fine enough that it leaves virtually no visible mounting mark on quality body work. This is the kind of thoughtful engineering that makes RC4WD accessories beloved by serious scale modellers throughout the UK and beyond.
