Removing servo tape from a chassis...

[Freakypen]

Does any one know of an easy way to get crappy servo tape off a carbon chassis? I've no nails left-tried a screwdriver, blade, just takin forever.
Feel like just buyina new chassis :cry:(along with gd quality servo tape!) lol!

Carb or brake cleaner, failing that Lynx! :lol:

[AndrewCaunt]

I normally use motor spray.Soak it with it then it softens the double sided tape up and comes off easier.

Get a hair dryer on it for a minute then just rub it away. Works really well

White spirit my old m8!!easy!!or if all else fails get yourself a c4.1!!:p:p

servo tape meaning double sided?depends if you used glue along with it
normally i just use a craft knife and start at on one edge and peel it off

or if its really hard,use a hair dryer or something to heat it up relly hot then use a craft knife.heating it up softens the residue on the tape and normally works every time :thumbsup:

Once you get her off paul, use the LMR tape, that peels off squeaky clean every time:thumbsup:
Just keep rubbing the old stuff with your thumb, you'll get there

[Freakypen]

Cheers guys for ur help---need to grow my thumb back Griff before MK next week lol! Maybe the extra cost of the LMR stuff balances the labour involved gettin this cack off..:)

Come and have a look at the new rcLazy servo tape when you come to the MK GP. Nice and cheap and excellent product in thin and thick varieties.

It's a gel based one not the old foam stuff, so very easy to remove when required.

Use petrol lighter fluid mate. Squirt some on some rag and then use that to get the residue off your chassis. If you use it before you put the radio gear in, it degreases the surface and the eqiupment sticks much better.

[jaffacake]

just plain and simple lighter fluid,its cheap & works very well.
