Thank you 66Racer, it fits perfectly on the Futaba receiver!

It is not going to effect much putting it farther back. It will have 0 effect on lap times, being it is in the same spot in the start and finish of the lap.
I used to run it up front but moved it on the receiver for balancing the car and wiring neat.
Many racers run the transponder next to the receiver, and really, when do people cross the line at the same time? It is usually pretty distinct who is in the lead.

Receivers have external antennas for a reason...
