Kyosho zeal tape or sorbothane is even thicker. With the three hole case, the cushion underneath is no longer a concern. http://www.mcmaster.com/#ultra-soft-...ethane/=axnjup

i dont like how high the esc sits with the zeal tape. the 2 layers of standard servo tape was recommended by Randy

Do you clean both parts with alcohol before applying?

I like the zeal stuff, has to be the stickiest tape I have found yet. The sorbothane is even thicker which is what I use in my hot bodies. 1/4 inch thick.

This is the best servo tape I've used and I've tried a bunch. It's super sticky but still peels off real well and has some absorbent properties to it too.

Ok, never thought of that. It was nothing there when i got the car, other than a little screw halfway into one of the holes

Thank you for the link.

I also saw $3.69 for premium! It's $3.19-ish here, and diesel is only $3.39-ish.
I was referring to my Eagle Talon, the AWD Turbo only gets 22 on the highway, and thats on a good day.

I was giving you a hard time!

I need some street tyres, I wanna drive my ride, but I dont want to burn up a $60 set of tyres.

I've ran the Kyosho zeal tape for the past two years and it is phenomenal, the only drawback is that once you stick it's stuck. I've started using the following product, http://www.fastenation.com/category....FUnt7QodrCpvfg, and found it to be the perfect combination between adhesion and shock absorption while being able to remove your ESC from the chassis and then reattach.
