I use double sided tape, as do most members at our club. Not had a speedo fall out.
Make sure to use proper foam servo tape, not carpet tape. Clean the bottom of the speedo and the chassis with alcohol before fitting the tape. The tape won't stick properly if it's dusty or greasy.
Make sure that the motor and battery wires have some slack, and fix them to the chassis with zip ties if possible.

If you can find exterior mounting tape it comes off a lot easier than foam servo tape. It won't tear when you remove it, but it holds just as well if not better than the foam servo tape.
I usually make my wife get it, because I hate Walmart and that's the cheapest place I've found it.
Make sure you clean the chassis and ESC with some alcohol before you stick everything down. (like he^ said)

The easiest way to remove servo tape is to heat it up with a hair dryer. That will soften up the glue and the component will peel off and the tape can be rolled off using your fingers or thumb.

I actually got double sided foam tape from Radio Shack because I was there, and needed some double sided tape anyways (to tell you the truth I wanted to make foam tires for my 1:28 scale...)
This stuff has a GREAT amount of hold, but with constant pressure, it will come off. Also rolls off after some rubbing.
