Thanks for Reviewing my Alternative LEGO PF Motors and Parts. The WIFI Remote Control works excellent outdoors, I also sell the WIFI (Speed Controller) Remote for Variable Speed. The XL Motor has recently been replaced with a new Version, It now has same Torque and Colors as the Lego XL. Great job on the Review Video, looking forward to your future tests.
What about servo? Will it be compatible with original one?
@@m4m3m2m1m0 Yes it works with Lego Power Functions
I’m looking into buying your products, and I had a few questions:
1. Are the receivers in the rc combo and rc speed control combo different?
2. Could I buy the wifi combo and then get additional wifi receivers?
3. Are any of the receivers compatible with standard official lego power functions remotes?
Thanks!
@@MackBricks 1. They are the Same. 2. Yes you can buy the receivers individually. 3. They only work with the Wifi remotes. Hope that answers your questions.
@@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop Awesome thank you! How do I order receivers individually?
PF "lives" again!
I think that PF getting 2.4gh tech is great, in the R/C world we have been using it for years and years, because it really is the best tech for R/C (at least of 2021). IR is outdated, and non-existent outdoors! For example, on my RC (Wltoys 144001 with some upgrades), I use the super popular and well priced (~$35-40) DumboRC radio and receiver, it's maximum range is around 1500 feet, I believe, which is farther than I can see my buggy!
I have many of these alternative motors and recievers and they are pretty good... The metal joints are good aswell... another interesting power function alternative is cada as they are producing brushless motors and the 2.4ghz recievers are similar to the buwizz ones
brushless? you sure? maybe coreless?
having the option is wonderful, I didnt know lego fully discontinued PF motors until now, I see no problems with 3rd party motors as long as they work,
Been thinking about buying these for awhile. PERFECT timjng
I like the other song at the end better than the one you’ve done for the past two videos. I’ve gotten so used to it that I was disappointed when a different song came on at the end. It really is the Racing Brick theme song!
Thanks for sharing this. I really like the other song, but the only downside is that it is licensed, so I need to go through a registration process every time I use it in a video, and there's a high chance TH-cam flags it for a copyright claim, then I need to do the dispute process every time. It's pretty annoying, so I was looking for another song that comes from the YT audio library. I'll keep looking for something that's a better match or has no Content ID :)
I got started in technic recently so I never had the opportunity to get a Servo motor, nor do I have the money to dish out $70+ to get even a used one. So I'm very interested in these compatible ones.
Blue Brix or Cada Motors you can get too
Great clip! Mould king has got a 2.4GHz proportional controller and battery box. I am very satisfied with this solution 😊
there is also an accu-pack with 6 ports !!!! (have not used it, but for lighting and use of only 2 channels a time it must be great, seems to be drained very fast.
@@basberend i use this accu-pack with 6 ports in my drift car. It works really good!!
It's a shame there's still no fully compatible servo that I can find - I'm currently building your 42069 RC mod and after watching loads of comparison videos ended up going with the 'Mould King' motors. So far no issues with them and the dark grey / clear smoked colourscheme looks nice. Companies have been making compatible parts for cars for many decades, this is really no different.
Wha 42069 is this a joke lol
Mould King had a proportional servo at one point, but right now it isnt used I think for now, due to some issues they came into with batteries and how they can be damaged by the servo
I am interested in buying the servo motor, but I was questioning myself if this motor can handle the higher output power of the Buwizz without breaking down?
i dont want to be that guy, but almost all those motors can be bought from aliexpress for even less money
That's true. In this case I'd prefer a trusted seller who I know otherwise, I had some bad experience with random sellers on aliexpress.
But it's just proxy added between chinese seller of counterfeits and you. The product is the same
Luckily you don't have to buy these motors, I was curious so I did it and shared my experience. Simple as that.
@@RacingBrick I know, I'm not mocking you. I enjoy your content and you :)
@@RacingBrick i understand i habe bought some to so i know what u mean
Cmon you are almost at the big 100K!!!
I got some of the servos and universal joints a while back.
I needed the metal ones for the steering of my trial truck version of 42070 (profile picture) which has 2xl motors and buwizz 2.0 driving it. The plastic ones were breaking
I use them all. There is an company called mould king. That sells better motors. There is an black l motor that goes 1200. Rpm it’s real!
Wonder if they ship to UK
I bought compatables off ali express😬😬. But... i have owned them for months now and they work perfectly and like new ever since. 1 servo was like $5 and 1 xl motor was like $5
I tho gut PU was cool but I never got any bc there so expensive I found some cheep motors and hubs on bricklink but already was invested in PF wich I prefer. But then all of my PF motors started malfunctioning and I gave up on motorized builds for a bit but I may buy a few of these to continue with motorized builds
PF servos are pretty janky. Those dying and unavailability of replacements will force the community to use Pu, sooner or later
I have no problem with motors, hubs, and even technic parts bought on places like aliexpress. Why should Lego enjoy a monopoly for so long? Yes, I know there are some clone sets that are essentially copies of active products. That isn't right. All my pneumatic parts are non-Lego. Of course, I prefer Lego but have tons of non-Lego as well. The cost of Lego is too high. The clone remotes tend to be RF, which has some advantages. They also offer BT and hubs with rechargeable Lithium. I haven't found any IR clones yet, although I'm sure they are out there. I like IR because it is easier to interface with microcontrollers.
The problem with the alternative speed remote control is that it rotates not as smooth as the original one. And original ones feel smoother and nicer to operate, but the distance is very limited 😢
We all Agree the Power funtions must return or a better motor type in the future
GIMME THOSE METALS JOINTS!!! ( Just do a MOC over 3kg that is RC, and you will fear for the Lego joints to break... )
These look like the ones used by CaDA. They're great quality and really durable. one thing to know: they have zero friction in an axle.
3 kg? No thanks :) I prefer my LEGO RC cars in the Colin Chapman way :)
@@RacingBrick even a lightweight crawler will bust u-joints, if you put an XL motor to the wheels
then the best is to avoid using them ;)
@@RacingBrick Colin Chapman... Like the one from the Lotus? I don't see the link with the joints or the 3 kg MOCs... Wanna light my lantern?
XL motor has worse torque due to the battery box that can't deliver enough power, try to run them on buwizz
I was wondering if someone review those motors😅😍
The motors are ok when they’re working, but paired with the RC components there are lots of reliability issues, at least from experience.
can I combine a batery package with a green gecko motor and stil make it work?
Are theyy fully compatible with lego's motors?
Can you make a video about car reviews please . It would get loads of views and make my day , eg. Bugatti review , Lamborghini Sian review, Porsche Ferrari etc.
I make reviews of LEGO cars mate, you can find all of these on the channel. I don't have access to life size supercars :)
@@RacingBrick I meant Lego but ok thanks
@@mainacc9453 scroll back on my channel, you find all of these reviews already made.
Hi, do you know if the original Lego V2 IR receiver is compatible with a non-Lego remote control?
thanks!!!!
It might depend on the 3rd party remote control, but as far as I know most of them don't use IR therefore it won't work
Hey just a question where do I code my off brand Lego motors
Hii, thanks for this great video! I have bought the Servo Motors from Green Gecko Workshop and I was as disappointed as you. Can you test other Power Function alternatives please? It would be very cool and useful!
I found no other servos that'd be proportional unfortunately.
@@RacingBrickOhhh nooo... What a shame... I have an idea: make it yourself 🤣 And thanks for your answer!
@@fairphone2870 lol, if I had a factory in the backyard being able to produce those motors I'd be probably rich already :D
Thats ok
@@fairphone2870 the new version of mould king servo motor is a propotional servo! If you want to buy it, make sure you don't get its older version (they have the same colors but different logos), the older version is not propotional and breaks easily
Hi there.. do you have any thoughts on the Green Gecko LEGO RC Control Brick Hub 2.0? Thanks
Does the competible motors work with the lego recievers?
Yes, they do
Thx
Thanks!
So it seems like there's not much alternatives to PF servo motors yet? I mean with a comparable size. otherwise you can say L-XL PU can do it but they are bigger. I'd like to ask you about recent 45607 LEGO Technic Small Angular Motor test if possible. I know It's available for a purchase at lego's store, but there's basically no way to buy it if you're outside of US.
I would really like to test that motor and the whole Spike Essential set, but since I'm also outside of US I have no way to buy that set at the moment.
Ok
They're definitely just rebranding stuff from aliexpress. Setting up the facilities to manufacture and mold plastics and electronics costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, and I seriously doubt a new, unheard of site has the capital to pull that off.
Can you record #short where you put mercedes zetros 42129 on a land rover 42110
I don't have 42110 assembled at the moment
Why would you do that?
could you review CaDa motors?
Hi racing brick. This is one of your biggest fans. I found that there is a new app being made on control+ called debug. Can you find out what this new control plus set is going to be?
If debugging is not a familiar term from coding then I suggest to look it up. That's an option in the beta app for the developers, it's not a set.
Oh ok. I get it.
Hello i have a question 😁 have you the 8110 Lego ?
Thanks and Always nice video
Check out my video posted earlier this week :)
@@RacingBrick Oh yes thanks 😁
A nem LEGO távirányító jelét nem fogja fogadni sajnos a LEGO jelfogó.
so with replicated reciever you cannot control the amount of power for XL, L and buggy motors?
Not with this remote. There's another combination that looks like the Power Functions train remote with dials to regulate speed.
I managed to make this RC with 2 train motor bases.
Can they be interchanged between Lego batteries and IR controls, or they can be used only with they own?
They are not interchangeable
Nice
These compatible receivers have channel selections also ?
Yes, they do have channel selectors
Where can you find the servo motor it s a rarest motor?
lego use to sell it but after 2020 they stoped selling and went to the new motors. so if i was you i would look at bricklink
but for a new one it will be expensive. but for a used one will be cheaper but wont last as long. and i have never bought
a PF motor or IR receiver.
Лего нужно снижать цены, у них тоже есть брак, опечатки в инструкции, и они все моторы изготавливают в Китае, так почему не купить напрямую в Китае?. Я купил Форд раптор за 20 долларов, он очень хороший, моторы по 3-5 долларов, они уже год работают
Word of advice do not buy motors from green gecko, I bout a buggy motor off him and it died in two months
I am all charged up
Fourth i think
Those are bottom barrel options for China motors. If you're looking for PF compatible motors at least go with Cada, their servo can do multiple positions and the L/XL motors have decent torque.
I have servo from CaDA and it does not have multiple positions either
@@RacingBrick agree, the only China servos to do multiple positions were MouldKing, but only with their own batteries and they stopped making them since they could burn out the battery box
@@RacingBrick did you test the cada servo with Buwizz?
I just did it for you. As soon as you move the slider from 0 the CaDA servo rotates fully, it is not proportional.
@@RacingBrick Thanks. I read the report from Brickelectronic and they said the Cada servo has 15 positions. My Buwizz is coming in a few days then I can test it with the new 'pro' cada servos.
