If you can find it over there, MIP tape is "da bomb" it holds strong, but when you go to take the electronics out, it doesnt rip and tear.

the velcro also helped when trying to get rid of interference, could move the receiver from the bottom chassis to ontop of the servo in seconds. Indoors intereference isn't a problem now and everything will be going on the bottom chassis, nice and neat.

(well it's not easy to get) our shoes are made to stay in one peice 
Us Cuda guys don't crash hard enough to need it that secure anyway
it also means our one way gears keep their teeth Velcro for motors
you realise velcro is about the same weight as two small titanium screws if anything the screws are lighter...
