need good self adhesive velcro, and servo tape

[tonydevon]

as per the title, I need recommendations of decent sticky velcro to hold shells on, but also I need some decent double sided foam tape, fed up with ESC coming loose in my 4wd and in most cases it then jams steering

I clean chassis and bottom of ESC with acetone, but after couple of races, its loose, and I get grumpy LOL

ideally ebay sellers are preferred as saves me creating accounts with a new shop etc, but if not then such is life

thanks

Halfords sell reel of sticky tape used for sticking car number plates. It's mega strong. Get my Velcro from John Lewis craft dept. Cheap as chips and very good, sold by the metre.

Maplin do large rolls of velcro and servo tape, that are both good quality

I find that "most" sticky back Velcro works pretty well if you stick it and then let it have a few hours before starting to use (I.e. Apply today and don't use til tomorrow)
The clear double sided tape is brilliant for fixing ESCs etc. Don't know name, sorry

Halfords do a good double sided tape, black tape.

I also use halfords velcro but do put a grp tape on my painted shell to protect the paint and it also means if the velcro ever comes loose its not an issue replacing.

Dont bother with foam type tape, get some VHB gell tape, extremely sticky and peels off in one lump when you need it off.
