Thanks! Standard Evolve mounts actually. I finally finished replacing the guts with focboxes and a 10s4p VTC6 battery. 63* motors/mounts will inevitably be the next iteration. This board is all about the low-speed surf carve groove though. I don’t really need power/speed but I will probably end up looking for more torque.

Ahh cool. Just been through your build history, you got some nice stuff! hows the chain drive eMTB holding up? and whats the deck on this build? looks sweet

would be cool to have some epoxy like modeling clay like we know from jb weld we could use for BH. That would be super easy to work with and clean AF i guess.
Yeah doood, so true. Was on my first ride since almost 2 months yesterday and it was great. First day with dry streets. Same today, but now its raining again

Thanks for the kind words!
The Heavy Weather is a fucking mental badass. Riding it is like a full body workout to the soundtrack of a chainsaw massacre. I love it. I’ve yet to find the right track for it to properly stretch its legs though. I recently drove for an hour or so to a mountain bike track (few and far between in the flattest country in the world) only for the Unity’s anti-spark to blow in the first 500m. It did well on a recent track day though! Different tyres and softer bushings next time!
The board in the linked photo is a LaCroix Prototipo DSS50, practically unspoilt. I gave it a frit-job and etoxx baseplates. Now it needs a Stormcore and a (>)12s battery upgrade.

ahh ok…Is that good for using or just nahhh?
Nice to learn more about them 
. Im looking to build an eMTB with a Unity too (though not with chains i dont think), torn between the deck you used and the Haero Bro, which is more expensive though I prob wouldnt tell the difference. The Lacroix looks lush, i thought they were Matrix 2’s from a glance, but i guess not.
I’d probably go for the Stormcore. Its more robust.
Naah, not now there’s affordable high-quality gear drives. My chains are fucking noisy.
I’ve never ridden a Bro but I’d probably prefer it now if I had the choice again. I like the wide footbeds. The DWII has nice contoured footbeds but you get a lot of toe-and-heel overhang. Getting a set of blades like @SabreDynamics’s would probably make a lot of difference. The DWII is proper stiff too, which is good for stability at speed but a bit tiring off-road.
They are, but they have these on them:
