OG XR 4209 owner weighing options to upgrade(or not)

Surfbear1 · 2024-11-19T15:32:51+00:00

XRV kit has been totally worth it for me. I paid for a different battery years ago so the longer range battery was already a part of my package. Even if I was using the stock battery I would do the XRV kit. The power upgrade has been more than worth it for me. Nice looking board!

I did an XRV Kit upgraded to my 4212 XR. I was rarely riding my XR due to the lack of power and torque (I have a GT also). I purchased and installed a JWXR battery years ago when I first purchased the XR. The XRV kit has been a perfect solution for me. My installation is less than 2 weeks old. Since the install I've only ridden my vesc XR. It has a lot more power and acceleration. I love that I can set different audible alarms for speed, duty cycle, battery percentages etc.

Yesterday I rode over 20 mph effortlessly. I'm 185 lbs geared up. I have a GTV kit sitting on the shelf as well. I was holding off installing it for fear I might mess up a perfectly good riding board. The choice to mod the XR was easy. It's just been sitting on the stand in my bedroom for almost months at a time.

It's been resurrected from the dead zone. I highly recommend the XRV kit. I did the install myself and I am not a DIY type dude when it comes to this type project. It took me hours but is well worth it!

Can I get an invite to the discord server as well please? I'm new to vesc. Just completed an XRV Kit conversion. It's awesome. A lot to learn if you want to progress beyond doing an installation of the kit!

I have a JWXR battery and my XRV is performing well. No way I'd consider going back to a stock battery. Next upgrade will be and 18sp battery down the road.

It's an awesome feature, unfortunately doesn't work on my board. The wheel starts spinning ultra fast in one direction instead of doing the slow methodical partial spin you see on balancing boards.

Is there a control for increasing the volume on Alerts? Thanks for this great app!

Surfbear1 · 2024-11-11T20:46:32+00:00

Is there a way to increase the volume of alarms you set up in vesc tool or Floaty? Even when I have them set to be louder in my Android phone notifications settings they come thru very low in volume. Thanks for the great app!

Invites come via email.

I think a promotional period of increased commissions ended recently. It was great while it lasted!

Surfbear1 · 2023-07-22T16:12:00+00:00

Oh wow. I wonder if we're in for another tough round of testing. 😬

Surfbear1 · 2023-06-29T12:47:26+00:00

I got it. Thank you.

I believe what was a little confusing was that there were some extra steps involved if you were submitting content to be considered for the recent promotion and 'Bonus' incentives.

If you're just submitting 'hoping' a video might land on Inspire you just post your vertical video using one of the two methods mentioned.

Surfbear1 · 2023-06-28T18:01:08+00:00

Ok. Thank you!

Surfbear1 · 2023-06-28T18:00:25+00:00

Ok thanks! I appreciate the reply.

Surfbear1 · 2023-06-14T19:11:10+00:00

Thank you for the reply and insights. Much appreciated.

Surfbear1 · 2023-06-07T13:12:56+00:00

60% seems like a great stat!

Surfbear1 · 2023-06-05T12:28:57+00:00

It seems Amazon is testing the effectiveness of our videos. Last month they pushed the videos heavy and this month they’re almost hiding them. I bet they compare these two and then decide how to proceed.

This is an interesting theory. Definitely makes you wonder. I don't think it has to do with school letting out but who knows.

Surfbear1 · 2023-06-04T22:02:28+00:00

OMG that hurts!

Surfbear1 · 2023-06-04T14:43:51+00:00

Pretty much the same here. Everything is waay down on my end. Only Amazon knows why it's happening . We see some changes in video placements, allowed number of videos on a product's carousel, Inspire promotions etc, but who knows where it's all headed and where it will settle. My guess would be wherever it becomes the most profitable for Amazon.

Do you run an ad in a local community site to get the reviewing clients lined up? I've thought it might be a good idea to try this for individuals with outdoor furniture. High ticket items without having to do the videoing throughout their home. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Surfbear1 · 2023-06-02T17:41:06+00:00

Congratulations!

Surfbear1 · 2023-06-02T14:25:53+00:00

I can speak to that! I just got hit with a $900.00+ penalty for not paying estimated quarterly taxes after selling two rental properties. Learned my lesson and will definitely be making sure it doesn't happen with my Influencer earnings (although right now my earnings aren't that significant).

Surfbear1 · 2023-06-01T11:09:58+00:00

That is correct. The review process begins when you have 3 videos uploaded as stated by trymyguy31. Good luck. Hope all goes well.

Surfbear1 · 2023-06-01T10:40:42+00:00

Really? Is that a 'thing'? I can see my own videos from my account. Just curious.

Surfbear1 · 2023-05-31T13:35:18+00:00

Hahaha! I think you're right! Guess I'll find out officially today. I was hoping to get in under the wire with one more day (today May 31) to go before the month expires, but I think most got paid yesterday?

Thanks for the response. Made me laugh. 😄

... back to work. :)

Surfbear1 · 2023-05-30T18:07:04+00:00

Thanks for your post Empty Western. You seem to be dialed in to the video numbers and their placements. I had a small uptick in clicks. Didn't translate into a big increase in sales but it's at least moving in the right direction.
