with the spektrum modules release, the receiver wire no longer needs to be long. What do you guys think about removing the upright antenna and rounting the wire on the inside of the car? I would think that the weight of that fiberglass antenna is quite a bit and at that height it would make a big difference.
I think you'd still want the fiberglass antenna there, even if the wire isn't on it. The antenna helps to put you back on your wheels if you get hacked or traction roll. I think this outweighs the minor decrease in weight and wind resistance.
