Default Sticky pads

Get some car rear view mirror tape. It's really sticky. If you still struggle try roughing up both surfaces slightly with wet n dry but not really a good look.

I've been using a product called Dead Man's Grip, has worked really well for me.

I assume it is a product made for some other purpose and re-pacakaged to sell to rc users. My son's ESC came loose a few times with other products but its stayed put since using this stuff.

It comes with an alcohol wipe for cleaning the area first, might be worth trying before buying any new product.

no more nails clear tape is very good at holding electrics in. as said, make sure both surfaces are completely clean with some some of alcohol wipe or degreaser.

I`m also using this stuff too. Excellent product as its like a thin silicone type sheet but really sticky. So i suppose the flex stops things jolting out by absorbing some of the shock.
