Generally, you want to keep your signal wires away from any high power AC signal. The motor wires are what I consider high power AC. I would also keep Rx antenna wires away from these wires, especially AM systems (due to the way AM modulates its signal). If any low power wires (Tx/Rx, antenna) must run near high power signals, you can minimize any noise by arranging the wires so they run perpendicular to each other rather than parallel.

The quark motor switching frequency is 38kHz, but the signal frequency from the Rx is between 50 and 60Hz (20ms frequency with
~1ms to ~2ms "on" pulses). That is quite a difference in frequency and I assume the ESC would contain some type of bandpass filter to block spurious noise.

Basically, try it the way you have it odd stuff happening, rearrange them.
