Velcro Receiver Strap



Even with Velcro on the back of my receiver I've still had problems preventing it from coming loose on big jumps. Taking a page out of my book on cheap modifications I decided to make a Velcro strap for the receiver similar to the Velcro Battery Clamp. Since I didn't plan on unfastening the Velcro holding down the receiver as often as I do the Velcro across the battery packs, I didn't use an Easy Pull Body Clip as a handle.

For this project it took me a few wire ties and some sew-on Velcro. Make sure you use sew-on Velcro as the stick on form of Velcro isn't flexible enough and will just attract dirt when the plastic starts to peel away and expose the "sticky-side".

I drilled two holes on each side of the chassis, right beside of each other. They should be closer together than the width of the Velcro you use. The drill bit should be just big enough that you can pass the wire tie through the hole that is made by it. Once you drill the holes on both sides, cut some small slits on the Velcro so that you can run the wire ties through it and strap one strip of Velcro to each side.
