There was a loose contact on the UBEC input connector that was causing intermittent power to the receiver. Well, it cut out at one point and allowed the Revo to go into the curb at 25-30mph. At the time there was no front bumper either (just the mounts and the skidplate). The impact caused the 3s2p pack to slip forward, and it hit the receiver on its way forward. This caused the receiver's antenna to rip. Now I'm waiting for funds to get a new radio with (looking at the Nomadio React and an extra receiver).

You should be able to fix the antenna of your current receiver. Just solder it back together and put some heat shrink around it. As long as you dont change to total length of the antenna by alot you should be fine.

Cant wait to see the updated pics. I like this project.
