Racers Input Please ......
Hi guys,
So I only race my buggy at the track. I never bash with it around the house. Being that I'm running at tracks is it necessary to have all that antenna coming out of the receiver box?
Now I know better NOT to cut the antenna, but I want to cut the antenna tube to maybe an inch or 2 above the body. Problem is ---- someone at my track mentioned impedance within the receiver box interfering with my signal and causing the car to act erratic.
In other words -- with the antenna tucked away in the receiver box electro-magnetic issues may arise from the wires all being too close together. Is this a little far fetched and I'm looking too deep into this or is this really an issue? I figured since the antenna has insulation around it as well as all the other wires I didn't think it would be. --- But this guy insists it would.
Thoughts?

Radio shack or hardware store for the heat shrink tuning. Loop it up to the length that you want and heat shink it.
Do a range check before driving it to make sure, have a friend hold it at the far side of the track from you and make sure you have control.
$2 crack lighter blow torch deal, that will not char the color and make it look like a turd. Bic or any other regular lighter will.
At least electic tape.
