You can bundle battery pack wiring with servo wiring without the fear of
interference.  The battery is DC current and will not induce voltages like
AC current does.  You can bundle servo lead together safely however, I do
agree that I would not bundle servo leads with the antenna lead where you
could get interference however it to is unlikely with digital coding used to
control the servos.
