The best servo tape?
 

Hi guys,ive been having problems finding a good servo tape.

So i just bought the LAZY RC FATTY SERVO TAPE, LAZY RC SAID: they didn't have the skinny servo tape which i've heard is great.

So the problem i have is : I have stuck it all down,but there is still movement,i just feel its not stuck down properly.

What do you guys use and suggest?

Thanks.

The losi servo tape is excellent. I've got the part number in my pit box. Will post the details tomorrow

LMR servo tape is the best iv'e found

Losi stuff Is good. Make sure you clean the surfaces with motor spray so there is no grease etc, any tape should stick well if you do this.

I've used the one Lazy sell for years, I used to use it to stick parts back onto race crash helmets. It needs to settle up for a while before it's really good but I've never had a problem with anything coming a drift.

+1 vote for the Lazy stuff that comes on a red roll.

I always liked the Losi stuff previously but the Lazy stuff is way easier to get of your chassis when you want to strip the car (it is more like a gel tape so you just peel it). Seems pretty strong as well.

Another vote for the lazy stuff on the red roll, keeps everything where it needs to be.

As someone who is 99.9% on the CML/Associated side of the fence this is hard for me to say but...

Losi all the way for double sided tape.

Dont buy the Fastrax pre-cut stuff. It is really terrible. I have used stickier post-it notes.

its defo all about the lmr stuff. sticks better than anything i have tried and peels off in one when you want to remove it.... what more do you need ;)

Losi for me too

when you say it still movement, what do you mean and what are you glueing down, is there slight movement is it coming loose,??

i vote lmr servo tape,best ive ever used:thumbsup:


trekkker

i use dead mans grip

Losi tape

I used to get this off eBay.

Where is it still available?

3m scotchtape for car trims most paintsuppliers keep it. if you use that it dont come off easy but it dont move either

Carpet tape, verystrong and most important it's very tin!!
You can buy this stuff at your marketplace, you will get 5mtr roll!!:thumbsup:

Depends what you're trying to hold down. If it's an ESC/receiver then a bit of movement won't hurt, it actually helps to cushion the electrics from shocks and vibrations.

If it's anything that's under load, like a servo, then I'd glue it down with Shoe Goo. Zero movement, mega strong, takes a little while to set so you can reposition things, and comes off without leaving a mark when you want to remove it.

+1 for dead mans grip :thumbsup:

Thank you all for all your help/advice, much appreciated.

I'm going to buy some of the tapes mentioned above and see what suits me.

LMR tape all the way. Won't use anything else sticks awesome, no movement and when taking off, comes off in one. Also putting it on warm makes all the difference. ;)

Another vote for the LMR stuff, awesome :thumbsup:

Me too:thumbsup:

Rclazy super thin stuff is good too!!

where to get dead mans grip
 

anyone know where i can get some more dead mans grip,
i love that tape and although i do have some left i'd like to stock up if its available

3M VHB (Very High Bond) tape is the best i've found.... we use it at work to stick stuff together that end up on the side of buildings etc, it 'cures' from the moment it is first applied & reaches full bonding strength about 24hrs later. I dare say that some of the 'branded' R/C tape is the same stuff, comes in different thickness which would in theory give different levels of 'give'/cusioning effect;)

LMR tape is very good!
