Default Scale RC accessories

Hello, I'm wondering how to mount scale RC accessories such as coolers, jacks, fire extinguishers, gas cans, tools ect on my scale truck. What I'm trying to say is how do I keep them from moving around when I'm trailing? How do I hold them down? Thanks

I use canopy glue. It dries clear and holds well, but not so well that you can't remove it later without damaging the body.

For bigger things, I usually end up using m2 screws. For things that would be strapped or tied down, tiny zip ties.

Sometimes servo tape is a good choice.

hot glue is great for this too. holds in place, but easy to remove if you need to.

Little bungee cords made from my wife's hair ties and coil spring taken from the inside of a wire nut. Other then the obvious things that are bolted down, all my gear is strapped, bungeed or tied down in my 1:1. I figured if I'm going for scale might as well go for it.

All my stuff is either held on to the body with a screw and a dab of shoe goo or held into my roof rack by a cargo net made from hair elastics. On some items I use fine black wire as a back up.

Micro magnets work good too.

All the above, the particular method out of all these depends on what material the two items to be held down are made of. Also how often will it get moved, removed, replaced, etc.
