550FBL Quick easy question

[dillwhacker]

Sorry if this has been covered a million times...
Spekky AR7200BX just about to go on a TREX 550..
The foam mounting pad - leave the middle bit in, or remove it??
Does it make any difference?
Thanks!

Remove it - probably doesnt make much difference though.

Don't use the foam at all. Use some 3M tape (can't remember type but someone will say). The foam stuff is too spongy whereas the 3M stuff gives you a very solid and direct attachment to the chassis which a lot of people will tell you does a good job of reducing vibration issues

3m type or align 3gx one if available, if you use the one you have leave middle in on electric, remove middle on nitro imo

3M 4011 Gel tape best place is eBay as getting it in the UK is difficult. Costs about £7 a roll to your door. I actually have some and I'd be happy to send you some to mount your Bx unit to rather than buying a whole roll. Just let me know

Thanks guys for all your suggestions.....
Well I have to go with one or other of the suggestions, and after chatting to a couple of guys at the club and Nick at Inwoods, for now I'm going to use the supplied pad with the middle remaining in and strap it down too.
Thanks Dani - very kind of you, yes please, if you could send me a bit to try that would be great. Then I'll buy myself a roll if it seems good. Only reason I don't buy it now is I don't have an EBAY account... never bought or sold anything on EBAY! Can you believe that!
Thanks, I'll PM you my address.
Cheers all, taa & let you know how it goes.
