Default Receiver and electric ignition on same battery?

Can I put the electric ignition for a gas four stroke on the same battery the receiver uses?

Personally I would use separate batteries, I'm not sure if it's possible to get ignition noise in the power but who knows.
If the power to the ignition runs out the worst thing to happen is the engine stops. If the radio is using that battery too,,well you know what happens next.

I agree with Kevin with an ignition dont mix the power source you need enough for the engine as do the receiver,crashing is a Drag.
