Default nitro cars electronics flying off1



i have a a nitro car and i have an idea setup for my battery and reciever. i use double sided tape to hold the heavy battery and reciever down. it keeps flying off and i just had a runaway car due to my reciever falling off. it crashed into a big coble in another persons front yard and some parts like my aircleaner and even my reciever and battery flew into their garage. i cant get it anymore. what should i do to hold down my electronic parts?</p>

zipties for the reciever in a cross pattern works for me and a velcro strap for the battery works too

i tried both! my velcro straps just wouldn';t stick to the chassi or reciever well. i even cleaned it with alchohol, zipties, just ended up slipping out in crashes.

Zip tie it in such a way where nothing can slip out - make it that the only way to remove it would be to cut ties.

That and try to avoid slamming the car into things [&:]

exactly if you use a cross pattern of zipties on your reciever you should be able to hook it to the shock tower i never use zipties on batteries though i would rather use velcro as its got a bit of give in it.
