I even found one of the Buggy motors in my technic box. How much is one of them worth?
Hey! I have that track turbo RC!
can u guve tips on how to use the buggy motor on custum lego rc cars
like doms charger
This is so sick!
I hadn’t even heard of most of these!
Me to
And you call yourself a lego fan.
@@thickstrongbleach688 just because LEGO is not my one absolute passion does not mean I’m not a fan
I've two of them motor" and the "PowerFunction rc motor with steering", but I had no idea they were rare parts.
I also have another, older version of the one-piece rc car motor with steering. I don't remember what set it was in.
It has a sort of flippy wire antenna that makes it look like a radio controlled rc car but it's actually IR controlled (the IR receriver in the black plastic cap on top of the wire).
It also has a kind of big built-in bumper in the front (very useful: It was a pretty fast car and as a kid I must have drived it against walls full-speed hundreds of times).
Edit:
Found it. RC Nitro Flash (set number 4589) from 2002.
@@jerzygadzinowski1731 I have some of those I’m 15!
The thumbnail of the video:
M motor is rare!
Me: **has 5 M motors**
-.-
:)
I've got three of those motors. One from the 42025 set and two more from Christmas.
Heh, I have 6
I have 5 too
Where do you get PF?
The motor 5:59 also comes in the 6990 Futuron Monorail Transport set
I have that set
Micro motor is quite useful, the one I have still works great today! But loud though.
3:33 I have that motor. It doesn't work anymore unfortunately, but I always thought it was awesome to have. In fact, it was one of the first Lego sets I had ever received. I had the Track Turbo RC, for any of you wondering.
I have it somewhere too
I know how to fix iiiiiit
The Micro Motor was also available in the spare parts catalogue :)
Well looks like I have the single rarest Lego motor of all time, I actually have no idea if it works or not!
Weird flex
Oh damn, I didn’t know my two beach buggy motors were so valuable.
Damn if I knew #3 was rare I would not have lost mine!!
I have the lego micromotor and I can say that it's really good.Also I like it for it's ability to be mounted in basically any lego set
Great video! I was expecting the buggy motor, the micro motor and the monorail motor, I wasn't expecting the hub used in those Star Wars sets (although it makes sense now that I think about it) or the rc chassis piece (probably because I have two of them). I really like these type of videos and I'd love to see one on the most expensive Lego Technic pieces e.g. the metal hook :)
Thank you very much! Here I talk about the rarest lego technic pieces ever! th-cam.com/video/C4g0PsNG6sk/w-d-xo.html
@@Unbrickme thanks for the reply, I’ve already seen that video. It’s really good!
I have 3 or 4 of the buggiemotors, some of the micromotors (yeah, both sets from lego technic) and also 1 or 2 from the last mentioned ones. Needless to say, i am quite happy to have those motors in my collection :D
3:43 I had that set! I still got the motor, didn’t know it was so rare :O
same here
Same here
Well, it is rare in term of set it apperared in, but you can find tons of htem on Bricklink for cheap, weird.
I think the rarest Technic motor is the 12V stationary motor. It was in only one set - 880 from 1979.
Sponsor ends at 1:07
Happy Easter!
The IR v2 receiver also comes in some trains. Loved to video and saw a lot of new motors!
Yeah I thought so it was the red cargo train, probably in some more but I remember that one
The monorai motor appears in not 2, but 3 sets (even though there's a tiny variation and maybe that was what caused the confusion). I have 2 of those 3.
True but I was specifically referring to the long couplings variant, I didn’t include the short couplings variant
@@Unbrickme The short coupling version is even rarer as it was only used in one set: 6990 Futuron Monorail
I used to make my own Lego motors when I was a kid from motors extracted from generic cheap toys, by soldering a 1x2 goldpin plug to them and gluing two flat pieces and a drilled out short cross shaft to them with epoxy. And I had a 9V Lego Technics motor with a battery box, and that battery box was also modified with goldpins to power the DIY motors. They turned pretty fast but the torque was low, as most real Lego motors have some kind of gearbox inside. Did that because flat pieces and shafts are cheap, so why not? Also online shopping was in its infancy back then and we didn't even have the Internet, and shops only had the lame sets without all the cool parts like the pneumatics or weird motors, and if one showed up, it was extremely expensive. Then I eventually got the Mindstorms set with the yellow RCX, and I didn't really use the homemade motors anymore, as it came with 2 normal motors and I didn't want to damage the RCX.
That's an awesome experience! I remember I did tons of experiments with electromagnets back in 2012 and I made a very basic electric motor
Woohooo a video after soo long!! amazing!!!
I got 4 offbrand buggy motors on Alibaba for $15 a piece. Ive had them for 2 years and they still work, not as fast as lego brand motor but 4 combined is a lot of power
1:13 I got the motor box as a kid and recently refurbished my technic battery packs and RCX and this thing still rips
I just got a Lego bulk lot and was sorting through it and found the monorail motor not knowing what it was and now learning that it's so rare is pretty cool.
Let's ignore the fact this was posted on April 1st
:)
I was just about to say that
The rarest lego motor is actually the Red 12v train motor!
Only appearing in 2 sets and has only been released in northern europe. This motor goes around for 300$!!!
The black variant is way less rare, you can get around 60$ for it.
Still it's overpriced
I have the 6991: Monorail Transport Base in a box in the basment, i just got back into lego. Picked up the ecto 1, bugatti and a few other sets this last month. I might have to get the monorail out and old tech sets. I have almost all these motors just from childhood.
Cool video man
You could probably make a living making new monorail motors.
Can you please talk about a Lego motor that I can use instead of a buggy motor, so maybe you can make a list from worst to best motors
4:51 I had that motor but sadly it was lost
The Supercar 8880 also had a working gearbox, and was released in 1994 (two years before the space shuttle)
I have this motor from dark side developer kit. I love it so much. Great video. Recently buwizz made his new motor that is even more powerfull than lego buggy motor
I have a buggy motor from the kit from 2006. Got it from my dad back in the days they it was new
That’s awesome
The black monorail motor only appeared in 1 set so it’s rarer
I made custom remakes of 8183 and 8184 with control+ and Lego System
Paing 400 for a motor:not
Paing for a 3d printer and a random motor:Yes
For the last motor, did you forget the Futuron Monorail Transport System set? If not, then this motor might be the rarest as it would appear in only one set.
I think he got forgot yeah. Probably because Bricklink lists it sepparately from the others. Still, the monorail transport base's motor could not be rarer even though it appears in less sets because from the 3 monorails, it's the most common and "cheap". I personally have 2 of the 3 monorails.
@@ChipNebula This is what I think too. All 3 monorails are technical the same.
Perfect video. I will always want lego motors due to customization with making your own lego Mocs.
Lego motors are awesome
Underrated channel
Very cool! Keep up the good work
Thanks
Oh wow. I have several of these.
Cool video!
Remember Spybotics?
I had the green one, and mostly used it as an RC car/tank, as the programming ability and those "missions" it came with were really limited and were fun for like 1 day. But the 2-channel steering with an LED that can be connected to something with fiberoptics was another story. Too bad they placed the IR sensors in the front and in a way that would make it difficult to use without losing range a lot.
i have one of the tiny red motors, i used it to put a spinning satellite on top of a police command center, the massive battery box is a huge disadvantage tho, also im not sure if i still have the piece that allows it to go sideways
I have 2 version 2 infrared receivers without even owning one of the 2 sets.
2:31 micro motor
Congrats on getting another sponsor! Also, where did you learn all of this information about lego technic?
Thank you very much, I do lots of research from old videos, articles, etc
@@Unbrickme dang good job on that research and explaining it well!
I have that Tecnic crawler!
My friend had a monorail motor and he had no idea what it was
3:32 what song is this in the backgroudn? i cant use shazam on it
Oh finally
Wow I have over 10 medium motors and another ten do motors i didn’t know they were rare lol I knew the day would come when they upgraded their motors so I stocked up
i would also mention the E motor, which was used only in lego educations sets
Lol, me just realising that i have the mobile crane with the motor that u showed first. Nice one😁
Does anyone know what the set is on the 5th clip?
This video is INCREDIBLE, but we could use some synonyms from a thesaurus (:
Honestly, when I speak, I can’t think of many words. But when I write essays, it all lays out beautifully with lots of creative sentences. Perhaps I should start writing scripts instead of just speaking off the top of my head
3:50 i have that
How about the Bionical Manas motors. Two motors and IR receiver in the assembly with two outputs for each motor.
What about the motor block used in the Manas ?
What about IR lego Train motor from the after 9volt but before power functions. It had a 9v cable connection instead of a power function cable so it could in theory be connected with a 9volt motor with just one cable
hi. at 5:32 you said that the IR receiver V2 was only in two sets, but i got the (lego city 7938 passenger train) set and it came whit a
IR receiver V2. so i dont know if it was a mistake that i got a V2 receiver in that set, or your information is wrong maybe.
but there is three sets the V2 receiver came in.
ok thank for your fix.
what
@@Fish-Finger *NOTEST?*
I have a motor that looks very similar to #4 but is a bit smaller and also no longer works. I think we got it in some kind of police boat set that also had lights and/or sounds?
Oh, I see
The picture you showed was the motor with another piece attached to it
Okay then I guess we do have that motor!
Yeah looks like we got it from 6483 Coastal Patrol
Too bad it doesn't work anymore, I wonder how much it would be worth if it did...
i didnt even realize but i have the micro scout motor red
It is pretty funny and amazing how the Lego community is always super positive, while other videos can be so negative and mean.
3:34
I actually have 2 of these at my grandparents in Australia that I got from some weird street store years back
but I don't remember the sets looking like this so I think they were lego ripoff sets.
the lego power functions infa red reciver also comes in the lego highspeed train
The version 1 IR receiver appeared in many sets, version 2 IR receiver appeared in only 2
@@Unbrickme oh
I got a V2 receiver with a train set :)
5:33 but that's not even a motor lol
True, but that’s why it’s an honorable mention
Micro motor was in system sets too+ in one of first mindstorms education sets
Some how I have a power functions IR receiver v2 even though I never had one of the trucks
I have a l and xl from the lego technic rally top gear thingy
I have nr#3 is that one rare if so what is the price of it?
The more you say it was “insane”, “awesome”, “cool” or whatever, the less I feel impressed…
I think also a good special motor was the one included on bionicle manas
The infared sensor version2 is also included in some train sets and in the stunt racer
the stunt racer and the train sets have v1, not v2
Hello unbrickme, i have a video idea for you: Top 5 best tracked lego technic sets
Awesome idea
5:36 It also appeared in the off road buggy racer set (idk the correct name, it was the green one)
By any chance, do you know the set number?
@@Unbrickme 42065
@@loopingbricks899 the RC tracked racer came with a v1 receiver not a v2 receiver
@@Unbrickme Ok thats really weird because I’m 99% sure mine came with one. I’m pretty sure I have one and it came from that set, as not only do I remember it as being from that set but I also don’t have any other sets it could have come from.
2986 should be included too.
WHAT!!!!! I only have 3 of those monorail trains, but, the other motors, HOLY COW... I have either 14 or 16 of those pieces of junk motors, that sure, that are fast and full of torque, but they are so big, you can't mount then anywhere with out the model needing to be 12 feet tall.. I hated those motors, as there is no way to mount them in an easy hidden fashion.. The red micro motors, with the upper and lower stud clips, I think I have over 20 of those.... Dang, I may have to auction this stuff off.... I am blown away.. I do realize, one would have to find somebody willing to pay those prices you mentioned, as I kinda doubt that they would sell for that much.. The droid kits with brain, I purchased 8 of those from ToysRus when they went out of business for like 8 bucks a kit, just something to do on my lunch break. .and once I got them to work, was the same day a new contract came in and never even got to open them, and in the closet they went.. lol... This is mind blowing.. If these prices are what you are saying they are, I have something like $1000 to 2000 worth in parts that I will not ever do anything with... hummmm.
The buggy motor I actually have it. I bought it back in ~2006 Technic in the motor expansion/buddle pack set 8287. I mainly bought it cause in set 8284 recommends using that particular motor with the set. Since it was one of the more recent/current Technic motors of the 2006 Technic wave of sets. I actually have the white Monorail motor. I randomly stumbled apan an eBay listing a few years ago that had a few random technic parts including the monorail motor. I think I payed something like $25 for all of the Lego parts. The seller obviously didn't know what parts he had since the eBay listing was titled loosely based on what the seller somewhat knows what he has.
If you want the strongest motor, but it’s 150$, buy the buwizz version (Just as powerful but 25$)
well I have one of those moters the last one I just need a new wire to hook it to the pack
5:35 what about the Technic 8043? i have it and those are V2's aswell
8042 never have V2….
@@catzzzz1450 those are the only IR recievers i have tho and they say "V2" on the bottom
i accctualy have the micro scout kit motor but its a bit broken :(
Wow I never knew it was $4000 and up
what about the one that came in the Manas set?
I have 5 of those Rc platforms from lego racers lol
How about PF E-motor? It appears in only one set
i had the crane withe the buggy motor as a child
i saw those motors for like 35 dollars on amazon
I have 2 v2 resevers, but dont have those sets, sooo how?
Whoa! Hold up! What about the LEGO PF Servo Motor? I think that's pretty rare for the most part. It only came in 4 sets and is incredibly difficult to purchase today.
I can only think of 3 sets. The regular and special edition crawler, as well as the Volvo L350f wheel loader. Was there a fourth set? Also the main reason I didn’t put this one on the list if because you could buy a ton of them on the lego website quite recently
@@Unbrickme Fourth set was the motor itself. Sorry about the confusion, I was looking at Bricklink!
And that PF V2 IR Reciever. Didn't they include that in the 6x6 All-Terrain Tow Truck and Tracked Racer sets as well? Why would they upgrade the IR reciever and then step back down to the old one a few years later?
@@hydroworld-soontobemigrate6160 nope replaced by medium meters and a tracked racer has one m motor for each track to drive and steer look up lego skid steer ideas
@@hunter7476 sry for my bad English.
The servo replaced with the M.
How does the driving and steering with only one motor work?
I think when it wen backwards, something blocked one of the wheels, making it turn. It is also in the Lego EV3 SPIK3R.
@@idotic_kid Ok Thank you
It could also have a pivot wheel that can turn to one specific side when moving backwards and stays straight when moving forwards. The very cheapest (non-Lego) RC cars work like that.
@@krzysztofczarnecki8238 oh ya
Incredible 😂😂😂😂
Bro I literally have the crane set with that motor In my basement
I have the infra red V2. I have the black crawler set
hi love your vids btw
Thank you very much
I have the micro scout and the monorail motor as handmedowns. O_o
Ive never buy new motors for many reasons. Plus used is still good and quite functional.
Make sure to not buy an abused motor that someone stalled or overworked then they are weak and the motor will make noise
