Default RF noise

How close do you mount your throttle servo to your ignition switch or related wiring. The rule has always been like 6'' min. using the old 72meg. but now with 2.4 does it really matter? I'm thinking about mounting my servo right next to my ignition switch....like 1'' from it.

I knew a guy once that plugged his ignition in to his SF power expander to eliminate using a separate battery to power ignition. He never had any interference. And honestly I don't know how! Is SF realy THAT GOOD! Thats a true story.

As long as you use a Hitec 7950 for your throttle servo, you've got nothing to worry about.

I solder my throttle servo wires to my spark plug wires for power. Saves on battery usage.

I've got my servo under the ignition battery, module and the associated wiring that goes with them. CARF seems to think this is OK. I'm concerned about it though. Fingers crossed I guess.
