I got 10” on the led sled, turning is better than you’d think, goes over everything, not for street. Not adaptable to anything else BTW they are solid rubber with planetary gear hub drives

i have a set of 8 inch tires, but he said 8 inch HUBS. i assume this man is 8 foot tall.

Kaly xlr hubs are 210x75mm
Got any pics pls
Im on tramp IR hangars they are 431mm
Also its 330mm wide to get 12s5p in slim undertray. 20 21700 across its width. Then two more rows… and it has a super wide stance it carves like a dream

I’m not a Kaly fan, but holy fuckballs that tire/rim combo looks good.

It does look good but why such a HIGH tag on’er? That’s crazy!!!
How much would it cost for you to Build this for me for? When you’ve done the maths add your time on top and hey presto

I think that was intended for me as I said the kaly deck was a stupid high price. @Drpoppinoff I’m I accurate with that statement?

late to the party here but yeah
XL-R is redonk expensive and I don’t think everything came out exactly the way Ernesto wanted it to but he is pushed the limit on engineering and done some cool things.
like I don’t think the truck assembly came together probably the way he wanted and was working with integrating that hydraulic stabilization system which caused some trade-offs and in my opinion shortcomings.
out of the box it is has got zero turning radius. the deck is damn near stiff as a steel i beam which… when you post on your website that the flexible option deck flex level 2 is good for riders up to 220 lb … wouldn’t that lead you to believe that if you’re a 250 lb 6’6" rider that the deck is going to be pretty flexible… worried about someone being heavier than 220 lb doesn’t that mean we’re worried about the deck bottoming out cuz it is nice and low to the ground clearance something like a lone star which is a plus but I weigh 260 padded up and the thing doesn’t flex at all maybe a quarter inch if I jump up and down on it.
and saying that it’s a carving Paradise might lead you to believe that the deck flexes too and the board can turn sharply or at least enough to be able to turn around using an entire intersection but that ain’t true either.
When I’m gunning it up hills… I’m in San Francisco and routinely put 6000-7,000 feet of vertical on it. Going up u going up every Hill in town but if you hit a bump in the back tires come off the ground and you still have the throttle pinned it faults out from over current.
he’s also only gives you two different durations of bushings for the truck which once too hard the others almost too soft if you over tighten the bushing so that nut is pushing the base of the bushing away from the where it’s seated on the truck hanger because there’s so much room between where the bushing sits in the truck hanger and where the top of the bushing hits the base plate that if you over tighten the nut you can end up screwing the net all the way through the truck hanger and your bushing will fall out it’s happening to me a couple times the first week I was riding until I figured it out.
I took the little bottom piece that the Lacroix hyper truck bushings sit in … it’s like a little piece of channel that keeps the bottom of the bushing completely contained on all sides.
I took that out of an extra set of hyper trucks …filed it down just a little bit so it would fit in the truck hanger on the XLR trucks and now I’m using Lacroix bushings in these trucks that came with the XLR.
now my bushings are always touching top and bottom I’ve got a range of durometers I can choose from they’re much more responsive has much more rebound than the bushings came with the board.
Since making those two lil modifications,
l bringing the front wheels closer together and putting some LaCroix hyper truck bushings in the trucks it’s a whole new board at least handling/ turning & carving wise.
It’s still slow off the line, spend 10 overheats pretty quickly… I get absolute overcurrent faults when I’m gunning it and the wheels come off the ground and the deck is a plank.
All that nitpicking aside it is stable as fuck at speed and so heavy with those giant tires when you’re on smooth pavement it’s a dream… long big slow carves get you flow stated often…it’s awesome it’s just not super nimble and it is heavy heavy heavy the thing is heavy lol. … when it’s humming it does ride like it a dream It’s the longest thing I’ve ever ridden kind of like difference between you know
I’ve had a lone star for a few years and it smokes the SLR I mean absolutely blows it out of the water as far as acceleration and blasting up hills and the thing never falls out and I got to do about 900 vertical up one of the fairly steep hills in San Francisco Non-Stop pinned for over a mile to get the lone Star to overheat enough to shut off when I come to a stop like I can start the lone Star in the middle of a steep hill and it will just fly me up that hill the Cali overheats and starts to throttle back then slow down on hills very easily if you don’t already going 20 miles an hour.
if you’re moving fast and you’re in that power band for that board it’ll it’ll maintain but you can’t come in to steep hills going fairly slow and make it to the top where the lone Star the old one not the super sport just I weigh 260 lb padded up and it accelerates up some of the steepest hills in San Francisco which blows me away cuz it’s 25 less volts it weighs probably 10 pounds less too but I don’t know I’m surprised pretty much puts the XLR it’s a shame in off the line torque full throttle endurance up hills and it’s just you know much more nimble bored cuz it’s shorter and cuz the bushings on the trucks are closer together on those hyper trucks it’s got a way better turning radius.
he’s got these two spacers on the front truck axelon either side to space out the wheels away from the hanger you know the wheel isn’t just up against the end of the truck hanger with a speed ring or washer so that the front wheels match up with the width of the rear wheel separation.
I took those two spacers out and brought the both wheels in the front truck closer together and now it turns like a dream.
I hear you. This is why i pressed a custom deck. It flexes maybe 3” in the middle. Slightly narrower trucks than kaly with a hand made flexible battery pack. 12s5p but that much lower weight means im first off the line vs an xlr. Then only after about 35mph does the kaly start to pull away from me. Also these wheels are one third of the weight of the kalys and that helps alot too. Only 220g per wheel they sit on 3” wide tyres not 4” and its pretty damned nimble
