Default Magnets in the mix.

I am wanting to use magnets in my hood and to make seatbelts in my wraith interior but I am worried about interference with my MOTOR, ESC, BEC and steering servo and RX. They are the highest strength (3000 gauss) magnets available anywhere.
Any advice?

Shouldn't be a problem if the magnets are small, placed some distance (½" or more) from the electronics and held firmly in place (to avoid induced currents).

At low speeds there definitely should be no problems, but at higher speeds with more vibrations some interference with the controls might be detected.

Yes.

Easily....not likely.

If they're small magnets, just do it & be done.

Thanks every one! Another question.
I just got a Tekin FXR pro brusher motor ESC combo.
I also got a fly sky 2.4Ghz 6CH receiver FlySky FS-R6B CT6B receiver.
Both of them are tiny and will both fit in my electronics box. If I house them together will there be any problems? I have moved the ESC and E box to the very rear of the wraith battery tray.

Just want to run it by the group before proceeding.

Shouldn't have any issues. My FlySky 3 channel receiver is stick right up against my Holmes BRXL in the stock electronics box in my SCX. Never glitches and it's been in there almost two years now.

For awhile I was running an rs with a sensored motor and fs rx in the same project box. Antenna coiled up as well.. never an issue.
