Yep the Parma Pro Servo Tape 8044 is the number. It is clear and kinda gummy.

Sounds like fun-Sean has lights at the track, so we can run all night weather permitting.I would like to put in a few laps on that 22-for comparisons sake if nothing else.

I've been using the Parma stuff and really like it. I actually double it up to add more cushion to my electronics. Works awesome.

If any of you guys are near an auto body supply store 3M makes adhesion promoter pads- part # 06396. They are one time use but will give you a near permanent bond on your ds tape. Just don't use it if you plan to swap your electronics in the near future- cleaning the residue off is no easy task...

I was actually thinking this as I got to use my servo tape on a servo in my F104.

I just use the 3m double sided tape I picked up at the hardware store. I make sure both surfaces are clean. The longer I can let the tape sit before driving the better. The only times I have had trouble is when I drive right after putting it on.

I guess if you can't figure out the overly complicated instructions that come with all the different brands of "servo tape" Shoe Goo will work

I tried the red Parma tape and it works ok, but I like the MIP servo tape better. It's to the point where if I see it in a hobby shop, I buy every package on the shelf

They (MIP) are obviously getting the tape from a larger roll or sheet; and as soon as I locate a source for it, I'll never need servo tape again!
