Technical Performance
The Traxxas double-sided adhesive tape represents a premium mounting solution engineered for the rigorous demands of RC hobby applications. The 3M adhesive technology provides exceptional bonding strength whilst remaining safely removable, allowing you to reposition or replace radio gear without causing permanent damage to chassis materials or component casings. The foam base material, typically 1-2mm in thickness, offers crucial vibration dampening that protects sensitive electronics from the constant vibrations generated by electric motors, brushless powerplants, and nitro engines commonly found in RC vehicles across the UK. The material composition balances permanent adhesive strength with sufficient flexibility to accommodate minor chassis flexing that occurs during high-speed driving or rough terrain navigation. When properly applied to clean, dry surfaces, the double-sided tape creates a bond that will reliably secure receiver units, electronic speed controllers, and batteries throughout the operating lifecycle of your RC car, whether you're running a ready to run RTR vehicle or a custom competition build. The 25mm square format is perfectly sized for standard RC radio receivers and compact electronic components, whilst the inclusion of two pieces provides redundancy for future maintenance or component swaps.
