Unity comes with 3.5mm bullet connectors and there are spare male mating bullets in the boxā¦ cut the bullets off the crappy cheap motor, solder on the Unity male bullets, heat-shrink and rideā¦

The size does not mean they have the same specs 
Look here for example:
Maytech 6355 Specs
- KV: 170 or 190
- Max. Current: 65A
- Input Volt.: 2ā12s Lipo
- Max. Output Watt: 3510W
- Motor Weight: 610g
Vs Flipsky 6355
- KV: 160 or 220
- Max Power: 1620W
- Max Current: 45A
- Max Volts: 12S
- Weight: 1.259 lb / 0.572 kg
Maytechs clearly are better here because they can support much more A and double the W!. Also flipsky only have 2 kv options which are 160-220 which imo in either 2 high or 2 low for a small comuter. 190kv is better but but just depends on your gearing options in the end. Maytech also conformal coat their sensors so i water raches it they wonāt die. Price is obviously double vs the 2 so if your roads are not rough, and you are not going very fast and donāt plan to ride in the rain (with thane you shouldnāt unless you like slippery slap falls), then flipsky will do fine. If you donāt want to pay twice in the long run get maytech motors from @EboardSolutions. He also has a warrenty on top i think and fastest shipping ever.

Then you need them even more. I wouldnāt have a dropthrough without a top plate or X protectors.

You could use a piece of aluminium to extend your wheelbase

Oh shit thatās a great idea, well let me first get a feel for the supercarve trucks (my build is not even over XD) and then when I fall really hard from a Speed wobble or hate the trucks then Iāll change to haggy with this adapter

Supercarve DKP on the front is pretty dope but if you put an RKP on the rear, especially a 44 degree or 35 degree, then it gets really stable at speed while still having that deep carve

No experience with the maytech 55 but I have been told their larger motors like the 6880 are hardened. Just because two products come out of the same factory this doesnt mean they are made to the same spec. I know in the solar world this is very true. 15mm its overkill for a dual drive but they last longer and less chance of belt slip on braking and accelerating. If your going to do a trampa style build I would go larger. One of my mates is 170kg (twice my weight) and rides my street carver with these motors.

Thatās something I am definitely going to try.
