The trick is where you don’t make a mess… no tips on that sorry.
lol by tube I meant bag.

I put it on a popsicle stick and spread it like thick butter on the gear teeth while rotating the wheel/motor by hand.

Hey guys so I got the single gear drive on the 184 axle and am running into an issue using my 6374.
So what I did was take the hanger off the baseplate and set the backlash using the paper trick. This way I knew ahead of time exactly where the motor would be sitting.
As per @Boardnamics advice I started sanding the baseplate and made pretty good progress, but no matter how much I do, I can’t seem to take enough off.
It clears without turning, but when you start turning the trucks, the motor strikes.
I have no problem continuing to file at the baseplate until it clears, I am just worried about taking too much material off.
I know wider hangers or a shorter motor are the obvious choice but I’d rather not spend any more money on this board😂.
I could file this so it’s even (like the white line) and it should clear no problem, I’m just want some reassurance that I won’t somehow snap my baseplate lmao.

I would buy a single 220 hanger from boardnamics and be done with it, not worth the risk of weakening a part that is keeping you from going full meatcrayon. They cost 40$ ex. shipping.

I have the same problem, I’m trying to get ahold of an adjustable baseplate to try to fix my problem, I have 220 hangers and dual 6380

Can you put griptape on the motor can and just let the motor itself make its own clearance?
Sounds a lot easier than filing, and you won’t take off any more than absolutely necessary.
Like this except a motor instead of a wheel

Depending on the baseplate you chose you may have some issues with adjustables ones aswell. I had to file a bit from my hammock baseplates to fit some sk3 6374 (which are huge for 6374) on BN220 hangers

You could go down this rabbit hole…
Of all, I’d say paris/randall would give the best chance at clearance.
I can check it out later this evening on my own setup.

Well my i intend to put them in a position where they don’t interfere with the baseplate and tilt the entire baseplate back so I have more clearance with the floor.
This is probably what I will end up doing.
Will running wider trucks in the rear do anything but look weird?
Or should I just get two of 220s?
That’s not a bad idea, I didn’t even think of this.
I’ll see if I can make it work! I am just worried about taking any more material off, as it is already kinda thin.
Not a bad idea at all. I tried putting my gear drive in the lower position, but the motor ends up being lower then the caguamas 
That would be much appreciated, thank you!

The good news is the batch of new adjustable baseplates eliminates this baseplate problem. Even with dual 6384 on 220mm hangers, they don’t strike the baseplate. I made sure they would clear no matter what the circumstances are.
I tried accomplishing this with cast baseplates but none of the common molds worked.

@Boardnamics, so excited to get this exact setup. Super pumped to get everything up and running on my board. The 220mm Hangars w/ the Adjustable Baseplates and the Flipsky 6384’s is going to be silly fun to run.

@abusfullofnuns, I’m jealous. I have to wait until March since I’m getting a fully assembled kit w/ the new adjustable baseplates and Flipsky motors. Super excited but the wait is literally going to kill me.
