Get a grip!

Sometimes a product comes along that is so simple yet effective that you wonder why someone hasn't thought of it before. J'Tec's Clamp Loks are just such a product. They are molded rubber "clamps," approximately 1/2-- inch square, designed to keep radio system wiring from dangling freely inside a model. They come in seven sizes and differ on the size and shape of the openings in which the wires are held. The smallest holds a single wire, and the largest holds several wires; there's even one with an oval-shaped opening to hold flat, multi-wire cables. All have a slit at the top through which the wires are inserted, and they are extremely simple to use. To neatly and securely keep all those servo and battery wires in the fuselage, you simply CA one or more Clamp Loks, to the inside of the fuse and snap the wires into the Loks. The wires stay securely in place but can be easily removed when you want to remove the radio gear. You can also use the Loks to hold pushrods or receiver antennas inside the fuse or as standoffs to hold landing gear fairings to wire struts.

Clamp Loks come in packages of from 18 to 21, either as an assortment of all seven sizes or one specific size for $9.95.
