Default losing weight?

I was thinking about cutting off some weight on my revo and not sure where one should start. I ditched the bumper and was looking at the radio tray/bat box. When you do that though where do you put the transmitter and the antenna cable. I’ve seen some pics of people with the antenna by the throttle servo but how to you stand the antenna tube in there. Im looking for thing I can do that wont cost me any more money seeing as ive spent to much already, thanks

11.00 for the FOC will save you a bunch of weight. So will a roto starter instead of the EZ starter.

get a bumb start, even lighter. I have my antenna laying down, and get a single steering servo, takes out a ton of weight.

A good high torque, high speed single steering servo. A carbon fiber chassis, a bump starter or roto starter, pull start will also work. Or you could drill some holes in the chassis itself. Anything and everything

do some research and find the lightest tire/wheel combo. you will see more gains by reducing rotating mass that by reducing static mass (but static mass removal is good too).
