Key Features
- Double-Sided Adhesive Design — The double-sided construction means the tape bonds on both surfaces, creating an incredibly secure attachment between your servo and the mounting surface, which is essential for preventing movement during high-speed manoeuvres and aggressive driving.
- Premium Quality Formulation — Fastrax Premium designation indicates this is a higher-grade mounting tape engineered to withstand the vibrations, impacts and environmental conditions that RC models experience during regular use, ensuring your components stay firmly in place.
- Perfect 25mm Width — The 25mm width provides sufficient surface area for secure servo mounting while remaining narrow enough for precise positioning in tight RC chassis spaces, making it versatile for various component types and mounting applications.
- Generous 1-Meter Length — A full meter of tape delivers multiple servo mounting opportunities across several RC models, representing excellent value and ensuring you'll have tape available for future upgrades and maintenance without needing to purchase additional rolls.
- Optimal 1mm Thickness — The 1mm thickness provides the ideal balance between flexibility and rigidity, allowing the tape to conform to component surfaces whilst maintaining structural integrity and creating a permanent, reliable bond that resists peeling or separation.
- Servo-Specific Engineering — This tape is specifically formulated for servo applications, meaning it has been tested and proven to hold servos securely even under the constant torque and stress that servo motors produce during RC operation.
- Easy Application — Simply cut the tape to size, peel the backing, and apply to both mounting surfaces for instant secure bonding without needing additional fasteners, clamps or complex installation procedures.
- Professional Results — Using premium mounting tape like this delivers the same professional-grade assembly quality that experienced RC builders achieve, ensuring your setup performs reliably whether you're racing competitively or enjoying casual recreational drives.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Premium Double Sided/Servo Tape 25mm x 1M Roll (Thickness 1mm) FAST187 represents professional-grade mounting engineering designed specifically for the demanding world of RC vehicles. The 1mm thickness has been carefully calibrated to provide maximum adhesive contact without creating excessive bulk that would interfere with servo clearances or component fit within compact RC chassis designs. The double-sided construction means the entire surface area contributes to the bond, creating a substantially stronger attachment than single-sided alternatives, which is critical when RC servos generate rotational forces during steering and throttle control inputs. The premium adhesive formulation used in Fastrax tape is engineered to resist the constant vibrations produced by brushless RC motors and high-performance powertrains, ensuring your servo mounting remains secure throughout extended driving sessions. This tape works equally well whether you're assembling a delicate 1/10 scale RC car, maintaining a high-speed brushless RC buggy, or building a ready-to-run RC truck platform. The material composition has been optimised for both indoor and outdoor use, providing reliable performance across varying temperature conditions and moisture levels encountered in the UK climate. RC enthusiasts appreciate that premium mounting solutions like this protect their valuable servo investments by preventing movement-related damage whilst maintaining the precision alignment that optimal vehicle performance requires. The tape's flexibility allows it to accommodate minor chassis variations and uneven mounting surfaces that are common when assembling RC vehicles, whilst its adhesive strength ensures these surfaces remain bonded even under sustained stress.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Fastrax Premium Double Sided/Servo Tape suitable for mounting servos in my RC car? — Yes, absolutely. This tape is specifically engineered for servo applications and designed to securely hold servos in place even under the constant stress and vibration produced during RC vehicle operation. The double-sided adhesive ensures a permanent bond between the servo and mounting surface, preventing any movement that could affect steering precision or throttle response.
- How much tape will I need for a single servo? — Most standard RC servos require approximately 50-100mm of tape depending on servo size, which means a single 1-meter roll will mount 10-20 individual servos. This makes it excellent value for RC enthusiasts working on multiple vehicles or those who perform regular servo replacements and maintenance.
- Will this tape work on different types of RC vehicles? — Yes, the Fastrax Premium Double Sided/Servo Tape works across all RC vehicle types including RC cars, RC trucks, RC buggies, RC crawlers and any other model type that uses standard servo components. The mounting methodology remains consistent regardless of vehicle scale or drive system.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This is an ideal product for beginner RC enthusiasts because servo tape mounting is one of the simplest and most effective assembly methods available. Simply cut the required length, peel the backing, and press firmly onto both mounting surfaces. No special tools, fasteners or technical knowledge required, making it perfect for first-time RC builders.
- How do I apply this servo tape correctly? — Cut the tape to your required length (typically 50-100mm for standard servos), peel the backing paper from one side, press it firmly onto the servo mounting surface, then peel the other backing and press the servo into the chassis cavity. Apply firm pressure for approximately 30 seconds to ensure a complete bond.
- Will the tape hold my servo permanently or can it be removed? — The Fastrax Premium Double Sided/Servo Tape creates a permanent bond that is not intended for repeated removal. If you need to remove a servo, you'll need to carefully peel it away, which may require some effort. This permanent nature is actually a benefit for RC applications where you want absolutely no movement or separation.
- What is the difference between this and cheaper servo tapes? — Fastrax Premium designation indicates superior adhesive formulation and manufacturing quality compared to basic servo tapes. Premium tape provides stronger initial adhesion, better resistance to vibration-induced separation, improved performance across temperature variations, and more reliable long-term bonding under the stresses of RC vehicle operation.
