Servo tape. Any "sticky" rolls right up when you remove components leaving the chassis looking new.

O.K., thanks. Now to find a place (indoors) to let the beast run wide open...

Parma makes a really good servo tape.

I've found that the Parma (aka 3m) tape, although really easy to remove, is TOO easy to remove. After a run I found my GTB only half on the chassis because the tape didn't have a good enough hold on it and it shifted over. The best thing I have found (other then the MIP tape) is to use the usual black two-sided tape that is usually carried in your local hobby shop. Yes, when you try to take it off it will leave half on the chassis and half on the component, but that chances of that happening without you physically doing it yourself is rare. The best way I have found to get rid of the two sides is the "Arctic Silver Articlean" #1 soulution (aka thermal material remover). This stuff attacks the "glue" between the component and the foam so that after a few minutes of letting it set, you can just pull off the foam and use a towel to wipe off whats left of the "glue." A quick shot of motor spray on the same towel, a wipe of the component and the chassis, and both are as good as new, only without sticky stuff on them.

I got the Articlean from SVC.com but it is also avalible from newegg.com, many other websites, and most Fry's electronics stores.

I have a giant roll of 3m gray double sided tape like they use to install ventshades on cars with that works great. Pulls off when needed but holds everything tight until I remove it. Best stuff I have ever used in 23 years.

The Parma tape works fine for me as long as I clean the parts before I tape everything off. If there is any oil on the tape it won't always stick very well.

I haven't had any problem with the parma tape. I rough the area up a little and stick it on. I have it holding on my 1/12th scale servo. It doesn't move.

I guess I am just going too fast :nod:

Regular double sided servo tape will work great if you use petrol lighter fluid and a rag on both surfaces BEFORE you stick the tape to them. Some of the guys at the club use sticky back velcro though. The idea being that the component has a bit of give before it comes flying off during a crash. The best thing that I have ever used to stick a srevo into a car though (a 4wd buggy) was the sticky back pad for rear view mirrors in full size cars. Used the petrol lighter fluid first and that servo never moved in a full seasons worth of racing!

I asked this question of one of my buddies, but wanted to ask some of you guys too- Is there a 'standard' height for the front springs that we use?

Need a little help with a setup issue. THe car (L4) picks a frnt whel up on fast bends and fast corner entry. This tends to make the car twitch and be unsettled. Anyone got any ideas why this happens. I've got rid of tweak, m thoughts are the front tyres are too soft and they bite to hard

I use the black tape on heavy duty stuff, grey tape on pretty much anything, silicone tape on temperary stuff. Shoe goo when it needs to be rock solid, like servos, switches, and caps. :sneaky:

I use liquid nail! :nod:

mark, it could be a few things but you could try slightly softer front springs, less additive on the front tyres (amount and time left on the tyre) as well as softening up the rear pod with regards to what oil you are putting on between the plates. Try each at a time to see what happens rather an all at once which will mean you don't know which thing you did helped out or not, if that makes sense!
