hey guys hope this isn't a dumb question but what do you do with the antenna wire when you change remotes? Do you have to cut and solder it yourself?

Don't remove that, it's part of the receiver and special to that one. It should never be cut.
The technologies between the two have to be compatible.
What do you have and what are you thinking of upgrading to?
The transmitter/receiver usually come as a pair. You can also typically buy them separate, but for the first one, you buy the pair and use them to replace both the transmitter/receiver you currently have, then you buy more receivers for your other trucks as needed.
The DumboRC comes with a receiver and it they are usually bound together when you get it.
So you would just open up the receiver box, unplug the steering servo and ESC plugs and pull out the Spektrum receiver (along with the antenna cable). Then attach the steering servo to Ch1 and ESC to Ch2 of the DumboRC receiver (making sure the connector faces the right way (signal is white and the icons are on the receiver label). and drop the whole thing back into the receiver box and dress the wires.
Antenna wires are cut to a specific length depending on radio wave frequency. If you change it (make it longer or shorter) it can severely damage your range. Most RC's come with a small tube you should feed the antenna wire through.
The tactic receivers have internal antennas (no external wire)
