what double sided tape is every one else using, because both my esc came unstuck after the wet weather on sunday. i am using the schumacher tape that comes in the kit. both cars had a tiny bit of water inside them nothing much, i noticed when starting the finals that both esc had become unstuck.???????

I've found Tamiya's double sided tape to work very well. It not only adheres well, if you ever take the electronics off the tape doesn't rip in two or leave residu (at leat not for me) - it's something I've yet to experience with other tapes.

Before sticking any double sided tape on though I would recommend cleaning it will a cloth and some brake cleaner Also, if you apply it indoors (at home) I'm sure the temperature and humidity levels help to make sure it adheres well in the first place (I think few or no tapes work as well when adhered in humid conditions).

Personally I use Velcro - but I know this is for the weak. I want to try and get some of that M3 solid Velcro stuff but have yet to go out and buy any, but its still an idea?

As mentioned above the Tamiya stuff is about the best, a solid bond and bo residue left when removed. It's not cheap though at £5 a pack but will last you a while.

Bolton Model Mart had some in stock last time I was in.

I've tried just about every two-sized tape out there, and one way or another - because of what we use it for, and how we use it - every brand has its issues and can come loose (whether it be from moisture, dust/dirt, vibration, time).

So what I've made a practice of doing is using the servo tape more for its vibration dampening - and then putting a small dab of shoe goo/amazing goop on either side of my esc's and rx's to hold it firmly in place. Never ever had one come loose this way.

One thing you have to make sure of is that both surfaces (chassis and speedo ect) ate totally clean and free of grease. Clean both surfaces with brake cleaner first and let it totally dry. Then heat up the tape with a hair dryer so it's very tacky. After this it shouldn't budge

I tried this (3M stuff) in my Dave GT12 on speedo/rxr and PT and everything detached itself pretty much every run so I gave up with it - it may be better in a buggy with everything being a bit more damped but it also raises everything up a few mm more than tape or std velcro so not good for the CoG if you care deeply about that sort of thing

For tape I use the stuff off ebay for attaching automotive badges etc, cheap and has really good grip, can tear a bit when you remove it, but can usually be peeled/scraped off carefully with a thumbnail

I have tried the automotive stuff/velcro/nearly every thing I have just got some sticks like nails outdoor sticky pads ill try them but I will pop up to bmm and get some Tamiya tape if all else fails I am going to tiger seal them in car body shop bond
