Hello, I just followed this article and successfully converted my XR to VESC. I modified a fully assembled Flowglider from makers pev and have a CBXR with an Owie chip. Everything is working fine. I’ll be checking the range soon.

The reason for my conversion was because the 4212 XR software made it impossible to fully use the CBXR, even with the Owie chip. I’m excited to see the performance of this new build.

Thank you T.K. Garrett for the article. I also built a growler. I’m looking for a good tune for a trick board. I would appreciate if you know any.
