Put it as far as you can from the engine.

Both places have pros and cons, so I plant it where ever I see the tail behaving perfectly for me.

First: The gyro and the servo connector have 3 wires one for sense another positive and the other one negative. make sure you match them properly for connection. you manual might tell you what is what.

Second: Check the mode on the Gyro. If its digital or analog mode. Gyro must be set to digital if the servo is digital else keep it to analog (set digital off). Again check the manual for the info.

i suggest you first sort out the muffler orientation and then come to the electronics. your engine seems to be mounted facing the wrong way. check if the clutch face upwards to the rotor head assembly. if it is then your muffler should be parallel to the landing skids.

your model for ref :

ok examined your photos closely, you are using a aero muffler . you need to use a heli muffler on a heli engine.
what engine are you using there ?

ok thats a heli engine but get your self a heli muffler aswell. aero mufflers dont do for a heli. heli engines work in a different rpm range to their aero counterparts and therefore have a greater exhaust/pressure requirement.
