Receiver mounting position.......
 

You look at various builds and you don't see the receiver mounted close to the motor.

Is it bad practice to place the receiver close to the motor?

Hi Jim

I have had my receiver right next to my motor in a B44.2 and never had an issue. Here is a pic, not of mine but the same sort of install.

In short, you will be fine.
