No offence, but I couldn't bring myself to pay 27 bucks for a roll of tape!

The best tape is 3M 890. It is extremely difficult to find in small quantities (lots of places will sell 72 rolls of it). I bought 2 rolls 4 years ago and just finished my first roll. A single piece can be reused all weekend. The tape has 600 psi of tensile strength. Normal strapping tape is about 150 psi. It comes in black as well.

battery tape doesnt break, it tears, where it comes out of the chassis
So tensile strength is not relevant ???
Ive tried really super sticky, super thick strapping tape.
MuchMore Batt Tape is 100% better , would not have believed unless I had tried it. Also very thin, but does delaminate a bit after a while & removed & restuck when changing batts. Can easily get a days racing without putting new stuff on.

Well sounds pretty simple. What about Velcro straps? I know on the cuomracer the battery is semi enclosed and just needs to keep from sliding out the side.

In a tub type chassis, Velcro works alright, but it's a lot easier to strap too tight and tweak the car.

Hudy tape is the best by far that I have tried, most the other stuff is Sliontec, no way near as good as the hudy stuff
