Does traxxas not know what strong DBL sided tape is our are they illiterate....

If you get any dirt or dust between the esc and the tape it no longer sticks. I will be buying one of these mounts when they come out.

Sometimes if you only rely on double sided tape from below, the case actually can come apart during a hard impact. This can lead to more catastrophic damage as an un-cased circuit board would be flopping around your vehicles inside and you might not realize it.

This is why many people use zip-ties around the top of the case to HOLD everything together.

This is exactly what Traxxas did.

It is a very smart part to make for another manufacturers ESC and addresses the issue while looking custom. A+ Traxxas.

Likewise, I ended up Ca'ing velcro to to the bottom of the mmm case.

[Takedown]

I never had lucky with velcro... The dbl sided tape I use is a the strongest stuff I can get locally. 5lb scotch heavy duty no residue tape.

[brushlessboy16]

20lb per sq in velcro works :)

I second that. I really like the "snap" it makes when it comes together. That's the only thing I don't like about Velcro, sometimes it doesn't stick right.

Just realized that what I have IS dual lock- stuff is great!

[BL_RV0]

Only problem is that if you get dirt or dust in the sticky side it never will work again.

Well that goes for everything except Zip-ties. But Zip-ties are usually one-time use.

To get my double sided tape to stick good to the Rustlers esc mount, I cleaned the mount, then covered it with some aluminum tape, then I put the DS tape on top of that. I use three-four layers of of double sided foam tape stuck to each other, it helps with shock absorption and it seems to multiply the holding power while being more flexible.
