Thermal paste or pads. Then screws.
I just use my noctua thermal paste as it’s good stuff, but esk8 builds heat fairly slowly in comparison to computers, so pads suffice.

I’m assuming you mean connecting a bigger heatsink to a small builtin one.
You can bolt them together dry or use a tiny bit of thermal paste but it’s not the biggest deal since you’re not connecting directly to the FETs themselves.
If you are connecting directly to the FETs you definitely need a thermal pad or thermal paste.

You can just bolt that on dry.
You can also use a dot of thermal paste but it’s not needed.
It can help slightly. I wouldn’t cover the whole thing in thermal paste edge to edge. That stuff is messy.
I can’t seem to use the BBelt calculator https://www.bbman.com/belt-length-calculator/
Filled everything in yet it only gives me the speed ratio. What am I missing?
Also ran into that problem yesterday, still haven’t found a solution
I put the Evolve 150mm tires on my Superstars…now they are very stuck and I need to take them appart, suggestions?
So I take carpenter clamps and just work my way around the hub pushing the tire to center until it comes off.

Carpenter clamps are the 2 wood blocks with 2 screws right?
I just got some BN adjustable baseplates and I’m trying to install TB direct drive hangers onto them. I can’t get the kingpin to center inside the bushing seats. I’ve tried both the TBDD pivot cups and the ones that came with the baseplates with no success. Is there a way I can fix this, possibly with a different pivot cup?

Sometimes the riptide pivot cups can be hard to press down into, are you certain they’re pushed in all the way?
I put my full weight on it and had one of my friends try, so I think it’s as pushed in as it’s gonna get…
I’d just assemble it as-is and carry a skate tool on you. it’ll work it’s way into place after a ride or two and you’ll just tighten down the kingpin as it settles.

Hm… Well I guess they weren’t designed to go together haha
Smaller pivot cup is not going to be an optimal experience
