How do you guys mount your electronics? With double sided servo tape, shoe goo, velcro?

I use Scotch HD Mounting tape - it is stronger than ordinary dbl sided tape and provides a little cushioning - Scotch #314/DC.

Securing the ESC with screws and rubber washers underneath it. Use double sided tape for the receiver.

double sided tape is wimpy wimpy wimpy IMO velcro is hefty hefty hefty. It keeps it planted and has space to cushion hard landings. I also don't have to pry the esc or rx off the chassis if i'm switching to a different car I just pull up and set down. Very convenient IMO. HIGHLY recommended.

I've used them all... Shoe Goo is by far my favorite if you have enough time (do it the day before). It gives the strongest bond and yet still comes off clean when you want to remove the ESC or receiver. Out of all the tapes, I do like the Parma servo tape.. red roll.. clear tape.. you do need to heat it up when applying, but once one, its pretty good stuff. Velcro is good if you are constantly moving a receiver around, though I don't think I'd use it for an ESC.

I've been using industrial strength Velcro on my receivers & transponders & just switched to the Scotch clear heavy duty double sided tape for my ESC's
