Super glue cuts it for me, although double sided sticky tape also works fine (gets a bit messy when you try and get it off though)

Double sided foam pads work for me (and also seem to be a lot easier to remove all the residue from when you go to take it off)

At the moment I only have one robot,the newly named "Hell Boy"
So I thought I'd try and put something together out of all the bits in my spares box.
Well,its different!.....

I made the wheels last year as an experiment. It works well,but I cant see it being very effective in a battle.

Bum.
Another deltang rx bites the dust!
My replacement rx is now doing the same as the last one. It works for maybe 20 seconds,then seems to loose connection,and then just flashes 4 times over and over,indicating loss of signal for > 1s.
I have just bought another babyO (£12 from ebay),and another dt rx,and will start from scratch.
I dont really get it. It drove perfectly all day at brighton modelworld. :( :(

I love the "hurdler", Jim! Original and cool. Sorry to hear about the ongoing receiver pains. Seems like you've got gremlins.

Are you sure you're not exposing your receiver to direct sunlight, getting water on it, or feeding it after midnight?
