Will this suspension work with the g2 master and is it the best aftermarket suspension I can buy?

Hello everyone, my xod brakes recently arrived for my 2024 KuKirin G2 and I’m getting more and more frustrated as i go on with the installation. First i find out i need to solder the connector from the old brakes on to the new ones, then when i tried to put the front caliper on the top part is rubbing against the rim. Does it even fit the 2024 model?

I don’t know what’s going on but any help and advice would be grateful, my rear brake whenever I apply it it’s very loose, barely brakes and the brakes crunch sometimes and cuts out. Here’s a video of me showing and demonstrating, it’s clicking and something seems slipping. Also when I’m riding i can feel the rear brake pad i think rubbing on the metal plate

Here’s a link to the video of it in motion

From the Wheel to the frame there is 2.4cm on the right side and 2.2cm on the left side

Hey everyone,
Having a serious heat issue with my 2026 KuKirin G4 controller and looking for some advice/technical insights from anyone who knows their way around high-power ESCs.
The Situation:
Factory Setup: Stock thermal pads were performing horribly. Temps were hitting up to 128°C (262°F) during heavy rides.
Mod: I swapped out the factory pads for fresh thermal pads.
The Result: Controller temps dropped to a max of 102°C (215°F).
The Issue: The bottom of the aluminum deck directly beneath where the controller sits now gets EXTREMELY hot—sometimes almost too hot to touch. It feels like the old pads were acting as an insulator, and now the frame is absorbing all that dumped heat.
(I've attached photos showing before and after the repad, plus the general placement inside the compartment).
A few questions for the community:
1. Is 102°C still way too high? What is a "normal" operating temperature range for the KuKirin G4 controller, and what is considered the maximum safe peak limit before damage or thermal throttling sets in?
2. Deck heat: Is the frame getting scorching hot normal after improving thermal transfer, or did I miss something?
3. How can I fix this permanently? Should I look into adding a heatsink, using copper shims instead of thick thermal pads, using thermal paste directly to the metal deck, or modifying the compartment for better airflow/cooling?
Appreciate any help or tips from anyone who has managed to cool down their G4 or similar scooters!
