Timing upgrades of xr+
I know I love riding this thing and I know I need more torque/would love more speed as well. I’m 6’1 215lbs- I know the best first upgrade is a new tire- but I’ve had my eye on upgrading to vesc since before I bought this used board in December of 25. Just didn’t want to committ a lot of money to a hobby I think I’d like.
I know I love it now, and riding on the trails/hills the limitations really show themselves on this xr.
As far as I can tell the battery/motor/sensor pad all work very well. I’ve already done some modest upgrades/grip tape etc.
I’m looking at the XRV kit-and I know I want it, but it felt silly to do that before just upgrading the Vega treaded tire.
Then I saw that the XRV page suggests I’d get even more power(i think torque specifically) by switching to the 5.2” mte hub.
Now I’m looking at like $1000 all in on these upgrades (XRV,tire,hub,bearings)
A-is it worth it? B-do the order of the upgrades make a difference? I’m assuming I’ll feel a lot more of the upgrade from the drop in kit than the new tire/smaller hub.
Full disclosure I bought the hub and tire because the TFL sale is about to end and I’m just trying to decide if it is silly to wait on the XRV drop in kit and just take the upgrades one at a time. Is there any downside besides having to do the work twice?
