Receiver / ESC Mounting
 
When mounting your electrics do you use double sided tape or Velcro or something else?

Usually Double sided tape and maybe a couple of ziplock ties if possible.

VHB Gel Tape. It obsoletes the other stuff.

Up to now i've been using the Tamiya heat resistant servo tape because it peels off leaving no residue (and doesn't peel off in use!) but i'm hearing a lot about this VHB Gel Tape and might give it a try next time I run out. Can someone post up a link on here?

That gel tape stuff - just got some based on recommendations on here and you guys didn't let me down. It's excellent stuff.

All except servos - those are nailed down with a mechanical posts and screws!! :)

Calling vhb double sided tape doesn't really do it justice.

I'm using it for escs in all my cars, even in the 8th, with its nice light weight (not) esc. It's not moved a mm. Despite some monster crashes.

VHB gel tape is defo the winner in my eyes.

Also black tack for holding your wires nicely in place as well.

I picked other Shoo Goo:D

BazzerH 15-09-2014 06:04 PM

Shoe goo is great unless you're in a hurry. Also if you've got wires soldered already it tends to make the item to be stuck wander around before the glue cures. Ace for fresh builds tho and waterproofing

This is the stuff I use: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Parma-Pro-...item33943b1763

I've only ever bought it from America. I assume it's the same as this VHB stuff

mattr 16-09-2014 04:57 AM

Except for the massive mark up, yes. Same stuff.

Col 16-09-2014 08:03 PM

Massive mark-up? It's cheaper... isn't it?

bigred5765 16-09-2014 09:43 PM

Cheaper than what, buying VHB in the UK? I can get rolls twice that size for about 3 quid in the local DIY place. Or a 6mx20mm roll for about 15 quid if i shop around.

Just look for 3M 4910 VHB tape.

I keep a small roll in the tool box and a big one at home. (Actually, i think it's in a bag in my hauler right now..........)
