Pretty much any hardware or big box super store (Wal-Mart, Meijer, Target) will have double faced tape and ty wraps.
Looks for foam double sided tape. The extra padding will offer some vibration and impact protection.

Thanks lol, didn't realize that was double. Is "tyraps" something I should know that was spelled wrong or something? I just drove with my bros who have Traxxas AM radios and when my truck got close to my bros it started crazy glitching! I've moved the receiver - it's on the inside side of the frame. Any suggestions where I should mount that and the antenna?
the best you can try is to move the reciever box to the outside of the frame if your wires will reach. Unfornately until you can get different electronics it will continue to glitch. Make sure there is no cut open sections in the antenna wire, especially where it goes though the metal antenna holder.
One thing you may check also is if the motor has any capacitors soldered onto it, if it doesnt you could solder 3 capacitors on the motor and that will clear up some glitching too.

I just watched a video on Redcats new 1/24th Sumo crawler, and it comes stock with a 3ch 2.4ghz radio system, it looks identical to the FM radio all of our GP came with. Im wondering if the guys that just got their GP could warranty their glitchy FM radios out for these new 2.4 systems. Just a thought.

Well needless to say I have a 'Pounder on the way from Brett @ CPE. I am not too concerned with the glitching as I have some extra radios around although that takes out the 4ws. Rammmit I will have to hunt down that video, if what you say is true us new (or soon to be new) GP owners may have some avenue to correct the glitchy radios and 2.4 to boot. Does anyone think this is even worth an email to Redcat? I have heard some good / some bad about their customer service.

Good call! I emailed Redcat last night and have corresponded a few times throughout the day today. I am told that the 2.4, 3 channel system will be in in about 8 weeks (when the Sumo hits the market). My rep said they would be able to replace my FM system with the new 2.4! Definitely worth a well-worded, intelligent email. Thanks for the suggestion. I recommend you all ask for this!

They're also called Zip ties, those plastic long things you stick the long pointy end into the opposite ends hole and pull it tight so it holds something together.
