| Securing electronics
I was just wondering how you all secure your electronics to your rigs? Thanks

I've had the best luck with velco. If you buy the name brand stuff it comes in 3 strengths(I think 5, 10 and 20 lbs). If you get the middle one it does a really good job of holding on. I've tried all sorts of double sided tape and it just doesn't seem to stick as well. Also the velcro does a good job of putting a bit of padding under the electronics to help buffer them from impacts.

I like the outdoor 15 lb. Velcro brand velcro. Lets you swap out esc's much faster and it keeps everything nice and tidy, also can be used for 9v batterys to mount on the body or wherever you prefer if you use that method for your lights.

3M Extreme Mounting Tape https://www.lowes.com/pd/Scotch-1-in...d-Tape/3690666 I've started using the Gorilla Mounting Tape as well, but have only used it once or twice. I LOVE Gorilla tape so I thought this may be worth a try... Gorilla Mounting Tape, Heavy-Duty, 1 x 60-In.: Model# 6055002 | True Value I've used velcro, but my issue with it is that it holds water. And it's not quite as low profile as mounting tape. But I'm just being picky... |

Velcro is an option, but I used double sided servo tape. If you get the thicker stuff it also cushions the electronics from impacts.

3M VHB is far and away my favorite. Used to use it when I built signs, and it's tough as hell, but will still come off clean.

I used to use grey sillicone, but ran out so I've stated using shoe goo. Works great. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk |

Builders of skyscrapers in Abu Dubai use 3M VHB tape to hold in the glass panels in some building there, because the heat expansion during the day and the contraction at night during cooling would cause the rivet design to malfunction, thus resulting in this cool (and local to me as I'm in MN so 3M supply is ample) VHB tape, or as I call it " SUPER sticky tape". As mentioned holds like like a coon w shiny object in his paws- ain't letting go! When you do go to clean up, nice and simple, usually pulls off in 1 piece with no nasty residue. Huge fan of this but it is spendy, but worth every cent! | |

3M VHB for me, no experience with the others but east to remove and holds very well. I use if for a lot of things besides the electronics.
