Hey guys, I took apart my board to fix it because the ESC burnt out. When I separated the ESC and the metal plate, there was some white paste in between, still wet.
I’m guessing its thermal paste but I just wanted to get confirmation. Here are some pics of it.
I have some spare thermal paste from my building my PC. Would something like this be okay to replace it?
yea it’s thermal paste. Yes the pc stuff is probably fine.
Awesome, thanks!
yup, thermal paste. Any PC store, Amazon, Ebay… whatever ya find will be fine
Shit I put way too much paste and its gushing out the sides. And I can’t wipe it off since I already closed it and all the screws are stripped lol. Would it harm the electronics? The paste is supposed to be non-conductive.
It should be fine. Thermal paste is made to not cause trouble. I would still watch it for awhile and look for anything ad normal. But I would say you are all good.
Will do, thanks!
