Default Throttle noise

Hi, I am new to gassers, I know not to used a metal throttle rod from engine to servo, my question is can I use a carbon fiber push rod ? I checked one with an ohm meter and they don't conduct.

I like the rigidity of carbon rods for throttle, with ball linked ends. I even use the small diameter solid carbon rod, fed through a nylon sleeve for longer distance installs, love the stuff.

I used to use the CF a lot and never had a problem with it.
