Problem adding an interior in my Sendero HD

[Doom!]

I wanted to add an interior to my Sendero HD. I picked up an Axial unimog interior , and with a little trimming off the back, it is a perfect fit in the shell.

Here is where the problem comes in, I went to put the body on the chasis and the receiver antenna is in the way. I didn't even think about that when I started this project.

The question is, has anyone else dealt with this problem? If so, how?
Can I just change the antenna location? Not sure of the best way to deal with this issue.

Any suggestions from more experienced members would welcome.

You can just roll the antenna wire up in the rcvr box. As close as most are to their rig when crawling, it won't affect performance at all.

You can just pull the antenna tube off and either curl up the antenna wire in the receiver box or zip tie it to the chassis, there's probably a set screw holding the antenna tube that you will have to remove first. It won't hurt anything, if you curl it up in the receiver box you may not have as far of range but highly unlikely you'll notice anything, all of mine are that way and never noticed a difference.

Thanks a bunch for the replies, I didn't think range would be an issue with a crawler, but if there is a way to screw something up, I will find it! Thought it might be better to ask first.

*Edit
I split the difference and cut the antenna tube in half (yes I removed the antenna first!) And the shortened height works. I pushed the extra antenna wire down inside the case as suggested while still keeping some in the vertical tube.
