RE: Servo extensions
Make your own extensions and then twist the wires between the reciever and the servo. Twisting the wires is a common technique to prevent stray signals over long runs. There is actually a lot of physics behind it. Using a larger guage wire with as many strands as you can find will also help. Smaller strands twisted into larger wires gives more flexibility, and larger guage wire will give less impedence to the signals.
