I believe that's a Redcat TRMT10E basher sold as a roller kit. I have one and they're pretty identical, right down to the center differential. Mine came with a Hobbywing 4-pole 4400KV brushless motor. It's a beast on 3s and was made for 3s. Watch the servo arms, they're known to break and that's about it. Great truck.
The aerial tube, sir. You should put the aerial (antenna) tube and fix it in place with the screw provided. Everything is in the box. Otherwise the range may be diminished.
The antenna inside the car was on the side pretty much hiding. It could have been that you lost reception. I'm pretty sure that's what happened. I have the same car but I use the tube that came with the car and put it in the hole to make sure I have good connection. I'm using a 3s lipo 5200 mAh 60C 11.1 Zeee battery. Fast!
Well, I won't be having that problem again. It's linked to my Radiolink RC6GS . Now it can go pretty much out of sight...not that I'm going to...hmmm👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾
