Why would you need one of those when you can already make a spektrum antenna short enough not to protrude the body now? I only have one car where it even sticks out of the body and I could have made it stay under but it is only about an inch or two high anyhow.

Oh my bad I almost forgot it, but could somebody instruct me how do you prefer to hide your antennas to be visually sharper in the car, please?

But how about 3001, as i saw most of them with shorter wire are 3500.
Could anybody show how to put more convenient antenna tube with my
3001, please.

You can cut the 3500 down to the same length as the 3100. Search the forums for spektrum antenna length or something. I have cut every big spektrum I ever had and not once had a problem.

Mac, check this picture:

this is a pro receiver.... just coil it up around and you're ready to go... I just took the precaution to keep the most antenna lenght on vertical, there is around 5mm between the antenna tip and the body....

I sell these also ...
http://www.teambrood.com/catalog/pro...roducts_id=883

They are very easy to install, plus they also work great with full length AM/FM antenna wire.

Yes that i have post since the beginning, but the guys told me before not necessary to purchase it due spektrum is capable to cut wire to make an hidden antenna then i am not sure how much could be cut to still have enough range.
Well, thanks for reply.

perhaps this one then??

it's the same, just coil it up and keep something on vertical.... this one is an MSX antenna holder mounted on a setscrew over the servo mount....

cheers,

I just use the antenna wire full length put it in a regular antenna tube and don't make a hole in the body for it, just run it bent towards the back under the body, works great, I use futaba 2.4 but I did the same when I ran spektrum
