Default Graphite + Electronics Wire Question

hello,
I know that having your antenna wire touching a graphite surface is a nono but what about other wire? Like wires from servo/PT/motor? I want to zip tie a few wires to my chasis to make it look neat, can I do this?

If you keep your antenna away from everything else you should be ok. I find that glitching is usually caused by something in the electrical system actually being damaged or faulty. Things like bad brushes, cold solder joints, bad crystals, bad servo/speed control plugs.

normally i use plastic twist-ties, or just take your wire and wrap it around a screwdriver tightly, it'll make it have a coiled affect.

That should be not problem, I zip tie my wires, then tuck them into the chassis. I've never had any glitching issues.

I also do the same. Just keep your antenna away from all graphite and wires and you should be fine.
