What is that sticky tape called.....?

What is the super sticky double-sided (3M?) stuff one uses for adhering one's RX or the like? And, is it something one can pick up at Staples?

I use velcro tape. There is also this rug tape they sell in hardware stores.

3M makes a few different two sided tapes; some padded, high strength, some unpadded. The old R/C standard is servo tape, which is thin but VERY strong (almost like gluing it down...hard to get it off intact). There are many varieties of it..some for putting on aluminum house siding, many auto applications. The stuff I've been using for a while now I got at an auto parts store. It's for attaching trim molding on cars; very strong hold, butyl based so once it cures it is a very secure hold. It was fairly inexpensive as I recall; I got enough for me, three friends and we'd still have lots left after a lifetime of use. You DON"T need that much, and the padded stuff Staples or Office Depot carry will work fine.

The one you want is the 4011, have a look on the back of the pack and the catalogue number will be 4011.

Right on. I should not try anything else or this is just the best one? Can I get it at Staples or the like?

Some prefer to use Kyosho Zeal tape for protecting RC electronics from vibration, if you can't eliminate all the vibration.

I ended up getting 3M 411, which is rated for outdoor, seem strong and, lastly, was all Home Depot had!
