Yeah, it hurts a little bit drilling holes in such a nice deck 
First few weeks with icarus I had everything ducktaped on deck, until I wasn’t sure of holes placement
You will use whole meepo hardware and enclosures on a icarus deck?
No problem, I’m glad I could help 
For a start yes, but I want to upgrade to full DIY. That is why i need to get the right enclousure for what i need, when i upgrade to a better battery and Vesc’s…

Maby this one…
Those are beautiful enclosures!
I will design and 3d print my own enclosure for 12s4p, and it will be flexible!
Here is my temporary enclosure for escape, same hole placement as for meepo esc and my enclosure is a little bit curved on base so it fits icarus perfectly!

Time has come to update this thread.
For last 500 km, my setup was this:
Vesc: Dual ESCape – each vesc: 40a batt max and 60a or 80a motor max
Deck: Loaded Icarus flex 1
Battery: 12s4p 30q flexible with bestech bms
Trucks: Evolve supercarve
Motors: 2x APS 6374, one sensored, one unsensored
Motor mounts: Marcmt88 for tb218 with adapter for Evolve trucks
Wheels: Evolve AT
Bushings and pivots: Riptide
Controller: GT2B with okp’s sparkle mod
Enclosure: home made glass fibre with silicone between comparements for flexibility for battery and bms, 3d printed for ESCape
Extras: BT module, 4x Xanes light
I had few accidents. 2 falls on wet road, ended with only slight road rash. One serious fall on around 53-55 km/h. super carve truck + high speed = speed wobbles. I had wrist guards with metal plates on palms, and right wrist guard was totally destroyed, but not even scratch on my palm My hip was all blue and I had bloody road rash on my forearm. After this accident, I always wear hip guards. I guess I was really lucky. Crash:
Also, I had one bent front truck, from I don’t even know what. A little bigger curb + speed, I guess. And one broken truck arm, from slamming my board into traffic sign :whoops:
Next upgrades: Haggyboard Kahua trucks + bergmeister wheels. I like to go fast, and fast doesn’t work with Evolve trucks.

How much space was between the motors with the evolve trucks?
I can’t remember that and I don’t have those trucks anymore. But slightly longer motors than 6374 should fit
And what’s The range you are getting on it?
I will meassure my motors tomorrow when I’m back home and let you know.
If I remember right, I got 25-28 km on evolve tires.
