Honestly, I wouldn't use tape. Tape requires a very flat mating surface for proper holding power. Besides, the existing stuff is kinda cushy and quite sticky; if that didn't hold, the only thing that will do better is thermal epoxy. Can't forget the kind of shocks and dusty environment these ESCs are subjected to.

If epoxy scares you because it isn't "removeable" - don't worry. Thermal epoxy IS removeable if you freeze the ESC for a little while. The epoxy gets quite brittle and simply breaks. Then, an exacto knife is all is needed to clean the old stuff off.
