Overview

The RC Overhaul Double Sided Tape 2Mtr x 20mm is an essential accessory for any RC modeller's toolbox, whether you're building RC cars in the UK, servicing RC buggies, or maintaining complex RC truck assemblies. This high-quality double-sided tape provides excellent adhesion between surfaces, making it the perfect solution for temporary but secure fixing of sensitive electronic components such as receivers, ESCs (Electronic Speed Controllers), and other vital parts of your RC model. The tape comes in a convenient 20mm width format, making it quick and easy to cut to the exact lengths you need for various applications across different scales and types of RC vehicles.

Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast competing at the track or a weekend basher enjoying off-road adventures, this double-sided tape delivers the reliability and performance you need without permanent bonding. The 2-metre length provides excellent value for money, ensuring you have plenty of tape to keep your spares topped up throughout the season. At just 1mm thick, this tape offers a professional-grade solution that won't add unnecessary bulk to your RC car, truck, buggy, or crawler while still delivering the holding power required for secure component mounting.

RC hobbyists across the UK trust RC Overhaul products for their quality and consistency. This tape is manufactured to exacting standards and comes ready to use straight from the roll, requiring no preparation or special tools. Simply ensure both surfaces are clean before application, cut the length you need, and press firmly to secure your components safely and temporarily.

Key Features

  • 1mm Thickness — The tape is precisely 1mm thick, providing an optimal balance between strength and minimal bulk, ensuring your RC models remain lightweight whilst maintaining secure component mounting without adding excessive width to your electronics bay.
  • Excellent Adhesion — The double-sided design delivers outstanding holding power between clean surfaces, meaning your receivers, ESCs, and other critical components stay firmly in place during high-speed runs, jumps, and aggressive driving without risk of movement or vibration-induced failure.
  • 20mm Strip Width — The 20mm width is perfectly suited for mounting standard RC electronics including receivers and ESCs, whilst remaining narrow enough to fit within tight chassis spaces on 1/10 scale cars, 1/8 scale buggies, and larger scale RC vehicles without interfering with other components.
  • 2 Metre Total Length — With 2 metres of tape supplied, you have sufficient length to cut multiple application-ready pieces for mounting several components across multiple RC models or to keep in your pit box as an emergency spare without running out during important racing or bashing sessions.
  • Quick and Easy Cutting — The tape design allows you to quickly cut off exact lengths you need without requiring specialist equipment; a simple RC modelling knife or scissors is all that's needed, making field repairs and component repositioning fast and hassle-free.
  • Economical Value — This 2-metre roll provides an economical way to keep your RC essentials topped up throughout the season, representing outstanding value compared to purchasing pre-cut tape strips and reducing your overall RC maintenance costs significantly.
  • Temporary Fixing Solution — Unlike permanent adhesives, this double-sided tape allows for temporary installation of components, meaning you can reposition or replace receivers, ESCs, and other electronics without damaging your RC model's chassis or electronics mounting surfaces, extending the lifespan of your vehicles.

Technical Performance

The RC Overhaul Double Sided Tape demonstrates excellent engineering and material quality that reflects the demanding requirements of modern RC hobby applications. At 1mm thickness, the tape strikes a precise balance between structural strength and minimal space intrusion, critical for RC cars and buggies where every millimetre of chassis space counts. The double-sided adhesive formulation has been specifically engineered to provide consistently strong bonding between the diverse materials found in RC electronics mounting, including plastic battery boxes, fibreglass and carbon chassis, and the various surface finishes of receiver and ESC cases. The tape maintains its adhesive properties across the temperature ranges encountered during typical RC operation, from cool workshop bench testing through to the elevated temperatures generated by ESCs under full throttle acceleration and extended running sessions. The 20mm width is a professional choice for mounting standard RC receivers and Electronic Speed Controllers, the two most commonly secured components in every RC car, truck, buggy, crawler, and short course vehicle used in the UK RC hobby. The 2-metre total length, supplied as a single roll, provides sufficient material for multiple mounting applications across several vehicles or serves as a workshop staple for ongoing maintenance and repairs. The manufacturing quality ensures consistent thickness and adhesive properties throughout the entire length, preventing tape degradation or adhesive failure during storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is RC Overhaul Double Sided Tape suitable for mounting my RC car's receiver and ESC? — Yes, absolutely. This is one of the primary applications this tape is designed for. The 20mm width perfectly accommodates standard receiver and ESC dimensions, and the 1mm thickness ensures your electronics fit within normal chassis mounting spaces. Simply ensure both the electronics case and the mounting surface (battery tray or chassis) are clean and free from dust or debris before pressing the tape into place firmly.
  • Will this tape damage my RC car's chassis when I remove it? — No. Because this is a temporary adhesive tape rather than a permanent bonding agent, you can remove components secured with this tape without risk of damaging your RC model's chassis, electronics cases, or other components. This makes it ideal for field repairs, battery swaps, and component upgrades throughout the season.
  • How long does this 2-metre roll last? — The length of time depends on your RC usage patterns. For casual weekend RC bashing, a 2-metre roll typically lasts several months. For competitive racers or those maintaining multiple RC vehicles, having a spare roll on hand is sensible. The tape is economical to replenish and represents excellent value for money, so keeping spares in your workshop is recommended.
  • Can I use this tape for mounting other RC components besides receivers and ESCs? — Yes. Whilst receivers and ESCs are the primary applications, you can use this tape for any RC component that requires temporary but secure mounting, including battery securing (though battery straps are preferable for high-vibration applications), camera mounting on FPV RC cars, securing wireless modules, and holding protective chassis guards or skid plates temporarily in place during testing or transport.
  • Does the tape leave residue when removed? — The tape is designed to provide clean removal without excessive residue on properly cleaned surfaces. To minimise any potential residue, ensure you clean both the electronics case and mounting surface thoroughly before application, and remove the tape cleanly by peeling it away at a shallow angle rather than pulling directly upward.
  • Is this tape suitable for high-temperature applications near RC motors? — Whilst this tape maintains its properties across normal RC operating temperatures, if you're mounting components extremely close to brushless motor heat sources, you should test compatibility in your specific setup. For mounting ESCs directly adjacent to high-powered motors, heat-resistant specialist tapes may be more appropriate for long-term reliability.
  • What surfaces should I avoid using this tape on? — This tape works best on clean, smooth surfaces including plastic, fibreglass, carbon fibre, and painted surfaces typical of RC models. Avoid using on heavily textured surfaces, soft rubber coatings, or surfaces with existing dust or contamination, as these will reduce adhesive effectiveness significantly.
