LEGO 10277 Crocodile Locomotive Power Functions & BuWizz upgrade
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2020
- The LEGO 10277 Crocodile Locomotive has official motorization instuctions with Powered Up components. As many of us still have mostly Power Functions parts, I tested the locomotive with the following components:
- Power Functions AAA Battery Box (88000) or Rechargeable Battery Box (8878)
- Power Functions IR reciever (8884)
- Power Functions IR remote (8885) or IR Speed remote (8879)
- Power Functions Medium Motor (8883)
- Power Functions Large Motor (88003)
- BuWizz unit - racingbrick.com/buwizz

Yes! This is exactly what the train should be! good old power functions!
Old? Yes. Good? Nope ;>
@@McKrushi power functions is the best system lego has ever produced!
This is very useful, thank you! When I do get my model I will be putting power functions in
Great. I thought my BuWizz would work but its good to have confirmation. Now i need to get another large motor as my others are already in use. Great video
Thank you
thank you buddy. you did an amazing job explaining. well done
That was great, thank you!
I think I will only keep my croco on display or in a dead end track in the rail yard, just for show.
But it is good to see what it can do!
Many thanks for the video, great as usual.
I count the hours to buy it. In Germany on 01.07 😍
Thanks for the video.
Greatings from germany
Great tips. I’ve not seen some of those motors before, but I’m still exploring. My eldest is only 6 so I’ve got a lot to learn. But he loves Lego trains.
Great video (as always)
I'm gonna do this to mine when I get it! thanks!
I really need to invest into Buwizz’ for my trains.
If I get a Crocodile, BuWizz is on my list!
Very useful, thanks a lot
There is an awesome Lego Via Rail that needs support on Lego Ideas. It might be turned into a Lego set that you can buy. It can be motorized with Lego Powered Up. It comes with a baggage car that can store canoes, a sleeping car with a lot play features, and a dome car with a lot of play features. I really want this train to achieve support and be turned into a Lego set.
Interesting. I've been trying to figure out how to use an angular motor (Spike or RIS) in this train. I have the hub and remote, and so many angled motors. No straight motors.
BuzWizz box is nice but it is a quite expensive option at 129 Euros or $150 US. I think it is better to make some modifications to the train and use the older components.
Awesome
Great!!👍👍
Epic
good video Racingbrick, as always
I agree.
nice presentation!
I have Funk with my 2 BuWizz for many Technik Models
cleverly bypassed the topic "derail" when the locomotive drives through switches or curved lines .......
by just driving through a "normal" oval
I only have these rails available at the moment, but I don't think the standard speed would cause issues
@@RacingBrick My croc derails on a full circle 9V track at medium speed. Could you test yours on a circle not oval as well? I'm very disappointed since the Emerald did not have this issue.
@@R0Sch88 I've seen Jang's video about this, can it be the difference of the metal-covered and plastic tracks? Might be a good thing to test your locomotive on standard plastic tracks.
Good video! If you fitted an sbrick instead of the ir reciever would the roof fit properly? I have an sbrick but not s buwizz
You need to restructure the roof with the SBrick as well, the top of the SBrick with the PF connector will sit higher than the PF connector on the battery box.
@@RacingBrick i have a sbrick and you can put the PF connector cable for the battery box on the bottom of the sbrick (there is one connector there + 4 on the top) meaning it will stay at the bottom of the train and not near the roof. The top of the sbrick is in a stair shape so you can connect the medium or large motor's PF connector to one of the lowest of the 2, it will not stick out. The Sbrick is the same size as the WuBizz in term of height, except it's a square and not a rectagle, so you cut the lenght in half (for managing the cable beside it)
@@danielsala81 great concept, and where do you put the battery box and the motor? You know, unlike BuWizz SBrick actually requires a separate power source.
@@RacingBrick the battery box goes to one side of the train (left in your video) and the sbrick next to it, to the right (where you put the PF infrared receiver in the video, but more to the right and lower. I guess the motor is under those 2. i don't have this set yet but willing to get it when it comes out (in 2-3 days). Also, you can not modify one of the 2 other trains just to put the S-brick/receiver/battery box ? I have the winter village train and there, you put the battery box on a separate wagon (you will see the cable going between the 2, i know). BTW, I am also from Hungary, but live in Canada now :) Excellent videos.
Thanks! Actually you cannot put the SBrick lower on the other side. Left side is "full" with the Battery box, same situation on the other side with the motor, the SBrick can only sit on the top of the motor. It is not as high as the IR reciever but still reaches the top edge of the sides, so you cannot insert the roof between the two sides. The 2 end sections are only 5 stud wide so you cannot fit the 4 stud wide SBrick between the sides there. Obviously anything can be fitted but not without a bigger redesign.
Azokba a motorokba van nyomaték csak sajnos gyorsan megtörik bennük a vezeték és akkor alig lehet szerelni.
Can you tell me what motor you used with the BuWizz system in the train?
Tested with a PF Medium and a Large motor, you can see them compared in the video
i saw this and I was like OwO what's this, now I know
Great video! :) The BuWizz unit seems to be great! Nevertheless, one "problem" isn`t solved: the force to use the mobile phone. If my trains are running, I didn`t want to use my phone... Therefore a very simple remote control is better - in my eyes...
In this case you can stick to the original conversion with the Powered Up hub and you can use the Powered Up remote :)
Great video. Have a nice day
se dice que el 88013 consume mucha energía y las baterías duran muy poco, sabes algo al respecto?
Are you going to review the new Buwizz 3.0 anytime soon?
I still have to wait for it to be released :)
everyone says this set doesnt handle corners and derails alle the time. we actually saw that. Here? YOU SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND.
Buwizz it’s a bit to expensive for me (at least where I live)
Does the buwizz upgrade burn out the motors at all
Nope
@@RacingBrick Wow thanks for the quick reply I might purchase one for my brand new crocodile loco
i guess this is conformed
Maybe it would be worth mentioning that one Buwizz unit costs 129 Euro which is much more than this locomotive, haha.
BuWizz 2.0
gotta go fasttttt - this post was made by the l motor gang
or just take off the entire middle section and use a dual xl setup
I’ll TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!!!!
Can someone tell me if the lego city rails are okay for lego crocodile locomotive? 😁 I couldn't find this info on internet - most probably because I have no idea where to search for it 😅 but I want to buy a gift for a friend ❤
Sure, as you see in this video these are the city rails
Hi
What about sbrick?
You can use SBrick as well of course, but it will be kind of similar to the PF IR receiver, as it will not fit besides the motor and the battery box without modifying the roof
@@RacingBrick Cuz i bough one 2 days ago and i am not sure if it have egnouth power to drive a train as well as buwizz (of course not in fastest mode)
It will have enough power for sure
well i will just say that you forgot sbrick+ as a options to fit nicely inside there 2
I did not forget it, but that one also requires a modification of the roof for 2 reasons - you need to stick to the AAA battery box meaning the PF connector on that is already interfering with the roof, and if you put the SBrick on top of the motor then again the top will be at the same level as the tiles on the side of the car so that means even bigger modifications for the roof.
@@RacingBrick hmm maybe
Well maybe I actually took the time to check it so maybe you can believe me :)

I would so much rather use Lego Powered Up.
