Marty Backe Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 @Jason McNeil at EWheels is providing free custom replacement side pads for his KingSong customers. Here I show the installation on my KS14S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 does anybody know where to get that thin 3m double sided tape king song uses for the side pads? it’s like see thru thin. i’m asking because my batteries were shipped separately and i had to install them. i might want to go back inside and check on everything. the vendor gave me just enough tape to remount the pads. i didn’t try to do a nice neat job with cable ties etc., i chose to let the wires float inside. a lot of times on rc helis, people would get all anal about servo wires etc and strapping all the wires down tight, and the flexing and vibration of the helis would cause the connectors to disconnect because of no play. not sure what a 18s good neat wiring layout looks like or if it matters.

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Can't make out the model number from the peel away paper, but here's some options: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3M-300LSE-Double-Sided-Transparent-Adhesive-Sheet-Tape-Cell-Phone-LCD-Repair-/400746372563 https://www.amazon.com/9448A-Double-Coated-Tissue-×55Yds/dp/B01CZGLJ4C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 yeah the tape is like a film. unlike the two sided 3m foam tape we’re used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I'm pretty confident it's 3M 9448A like in the second link I posted. Don't forget the "All seeing, all knowing part..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I was gonna post that even if I was right! No need to ask! It will be known as "The Tesla Testicle Test" video.

Don't forget the "All seeing, all knowing part..." i don’t think so because the stuff the chinese vendor sent me was clear or translucent film.

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 How about we bet the farm on it? I can kinda make out 944, and there is an upside down 8A there so the blurry one on top likely is 9448A. All seeing, all knowing... (see sig).

novazeus Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 that could be what came with marty’s new pads but the stuff the vendor sent me was translucent, not black or white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Not quite sure whether you really need a specific type of double stick tape, but the 3M 9448A looks kinda like this photo which is slightly translucent. I think they call it tissue tape. Maybe you are planning to use it for a different application and require that it be completely translucent? If it's to re-attach the pads, the tape will be covered up? I'm confused. \ That photo of the tape roll you have doesn't look like a 3M product. It's probably just a generic double sided sticky tape used to stick padding on wheels. I got a similar roll when I bought my generic wheel. Maybe this would work if you don't think the tissue tape will work? https://www.staples.com/Scotch-Permanent-Double-Sided-Tape/product_SS130500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 yeah i think ur right. i don’t know what is wrong with people’s brains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoother Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 As far as I know it's just known as "double sided tape ". If it's got that spongy stuff in the middle it's got another name like "double sided, spongy stuff in the middle, tape" ? I used to have a giant roll of it, and I mean GIANT! About 2" wide and about 8" diameter. Lost it in a house move last year. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that you see me remove used the big sheet adhesive like what was on the pads from EWheels. When I removed the other pad, it had a whole bunch of individual strips of tape from a roll, and was much harder to remove .

The Fat Unicyclist Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 @Hunka Hunka Burning Love - stop trying to use your mind control powers on me (again)! You may have psychically willed me back to the forum (twice now already), but ATGATT prevents me, despite the urges you keep putting into my head... Try @Sidestreet Reny - he's a repeat offender...
