Bring the Heat - Part 7: XRV + X7

[@acheronfail]

Literally have an XRV kit in the post on the way to me - very keen for your follow up video with the ATF!

[@deanaoxo]

I've done 3 now, using your and Mario's guide. Calibration is critical. Also, it really helps to do a more perfect accelerometer calibration and orientation as per Mario's VESC 1 Wheel Full setup starting around 101.00 For whatever reason, once we did that, after using your setup guide, Muy Bueno ~!~ Thank you for all you do. I absolutely LOVE this kit.

[@JoshParmesan]

I'm actually shocked at how well the vega did climbing that hill, was also cool seeing the trail side calibration fix as well. Small things like that make all your videos an essential watch, I don't wanna miss any pieces of knowledge that could save my ass one day

[@uhjyuff2095]

Vega seems to throw the dirt on the foot pads. I am hoping my new treaded tire won't do that and I will be happy.

[@CosmicJubatus]

​@@uhjyuff2095 i believe all tires will do such a thing, especially threaded ones. You may wanna consider TFL's Drop Top Fender base pieces

[@ronaldgrump2356]

I was literally about to search for XRV reviews/info and your video was first in suggested. So glad I subscribed!

[@samloscoisnotacaveman]

those prism rails are too dope

[@dogbog99]

They are so nice you wanna show them off with no rail guards but also wanna put rail guards on them because they are too nice to get beat up.

[@samloscoisnotacaveman]

@ do you own a pair? I’m on the fence about grabbing

[@MariusSchilder]

Excellent. Just did a xrv conversion, was contemplating putting some statorade in the hub but ran out of patience. Mo' data mo' better! Keep it coming!

[@surfdado]

@@MariusSchilder Statorade definitely helps. Got it in my Part 6 test board

[@TheXone7]

@@surfdado We dont recomand using statorade, because statorade is basically nano treated Fe3O4 particles suspended in C3H8O, the fluid is most likely to evaporate overtime and leaving some oxidized Iron in the hub, might be dangerous for hall sensors, and sometimes the solvent will melt the epoxy that holds your magnet to the hub, which is also nightmare to repair.

Awesome video! 🤙

[@luisbanz]

Interesting. This might solve my crunch issue on adv. Mine would crunch once at very low speed but high torque. I kept thinking it's a loose bolt but I've checked the bolts.

[@SPENCER2GO]

Very thrilling and scary background music.

[@jasonackor7958]

Thank you! keep making these videos. So Awesome! What has been your favorite board to ride up the hill?

[@surfdado]

My go-to trail board is still the 18s2p Thor300 board with the 7" Burris and the Floatboxx Cyber Rails XL. Come to think of it, I haven't even made a video on it...

[@Floating_Jaffa]

Looking forward to that Atf video 🥵

[@terreonnhenry5778]

I already know there's an XR Classic video coming and I can't wait!!!!!!

[@mlastudioproductions]

DJI Mic 2. You won’t regret this investment for a microphone

[@surfdado]

@@mlastudioproductions oh wow way out of my price range 🤣

[@mlastudioproductions]

@ I believe that you can the OG DJI Mic with one RX and 1TX much more affordable

[@MrJoefoefrombuffalo]

Good video thank you for doing it. Please consider when doing the fluid making a video on how to do it. I'm holding off no hurry on making my own XR a xrv till version 2 of the adv pro version 1 is available related to I live in Buffalo New York USA sadly my riding season is limited now till spring with cold snow, daylight savings limited time to enjoy

[@Emre-zy2eh]

Surf, could you do a video about your tune and detail settings... Because u have so much experience 😊

[@MrJoefoefrombuffalo]

please consider offering your tunes to us via vesc app or floaty app on tunes available to app users. 🖖

[@connors694]

well made video, good job. i am planning on buying an XRV kit to build my first VESC board. that performance is impressive especially on a stock battery AND stock vega tire?

[@quantumuninstall]

Any info about that status bar? Thats pretty much exactly the direction I was going in.

[@surfdado]

Any 5V WS2812 LED strip will work

[@TrooperManaic]

In your honest opinion. Coming from someone who has a fungineers board already. I have an xr that I already pimped out and im unhappy with the stock controller. Should I get the XRV kit if I want to keep my XR a lightweight grocery getter or should I skip the XRV and pay a bit more for a different kit?

[@surfdado]

@@TrooperManaic for what you describe the XRV kit is an excellent choice

[@davonwhitworth5024]

Upgrading the computer and rails before the tire is weird to see.

[@dave4347]

Not really that weird tbh, I've seen some people upgrade the tire last because their thinking is to use it until it wears down. Me personally, I'd upgrade it no matter what 🙂

[@me_josh]

I may have issues similar to that motor crunch but on my floatwheel can you do a separate video on the right parameters 4:08

[@Kay0Bot]

Luv to see it!

[@shabadavtar9370]

Great video! Exactly what i was looking for. What was the battery temp?? I guess tou can't check with that cheap bms. But I am concerned because there were times I hit 130°F on my stock Xr. That's already way more than acceptable. Imagine you're now dumping 2 or 3 times the current. Must degrade the battery suuuuuuper fast 😨 right???

[@Kay0Bot]

Something definitely not right there are you pushing up alot hills? You have high ambient temps? Like 27c or above?

[@surfdado]

man I wish I had a battery temp sensor in the XRV boards - I am a bit worried about those stock XR packs... but 130F battery temp on a stock XR doesn't sound right... Never seen that before

[@shabadavtar9370]

@surfdado yes that's just some hardcore technical trail riding. Not to hot but the dead of summer. Maybe 80/90F ambient. Also 3000 of those kind of miles on the board 😄. I now have brand new cbxr and just don't wanna hurt it too bad.

[@wayofflow955]

Any words on the performance of the thor400?

[@Go.el_Hadam]

How can we prevent the ATF from leaking?

[@surfdado]

lmao how would I know?? Hopefully quality bearings will do the trick

[@uhjyuff2095]

probably won't leak when not riding because the fluid is not sloshing around.

[@surfdado]

@@uhjyuff2095 I guess I shall find out soon, hopefully it's not gonna be a giant mess

[@CM-bn1ri]

Yooooo!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@SS-du7tr]

No more "music" please... pleeeeaaase!!🙏 Great video though 😁

[@surfdado]

oh I'm gonna crank it up on the next one 🤣
