Can you make a separate vid of the lego bronco?
Yeah, I really want to see the details! :)
The Bronco and the others will return in future videos for sure!
What is that yellow/orange Technic Bronco!!??
It's funny to see how a small R/C bronco can do what the real thing can't.
Incredible job on this video! I can’t even imagine how long it took to make all those alternate builds and test all everything. Great dedication for a video that’s not even mainstream. It’s why you’re the best LEGO reviewer out there.
Right now the best option to make a full Proportional Control vehicle for LEGO is the Mould King 6 Channels Powered Module 6.0.
It offers 6 separate chanels with Proportional Control, 50m Range with a real 2.4GHz Radio Transmitter, a lot of Power from an integrated 2S LiPo Battery and it Includes a Proportional Control Transmitter and a Fully customizable Bluetooth Mobile App.
And it's the cheapest option by far! (Compared to BuWizz and LEGO). That's why it is my choice in all my projects.
Does it have a proportional remote?
It has 2 proportional multi derictional joysticks on the remote of the newest version
I also recently got into RC after being obsessed with Lego for a while: I can confidently say that Lego Technic thought me all the concepts and principles that I would need with my crawlers much better than my crawlers did. And indeed, Lego is infinitely more versatile and rewarding.
R/C cars + 3d printer... this is where the fun starts.
I also have similar situation as RacingBrick: Legos + Traxxas R/C. I started with Legos, but while I do enjoy the building of the sets, I have a lot more fun with playing with the R/C models. Durability, power, range, speed. And a ton of customizability, if you are into electronics and have access to 3d printer.
This was a very fair and detailed review of the two worlds. I have almost every Lego RC set that you've showed, and I also have "real" RC cars like the one you showed (and spent close to $1000 on them). I agree there is no clear overall winner to "which is best", but clearly in specific categories there are winners. I love my "real" RC car outdoor on rocky trails, and I love my Lego RC cars indoors and customizable. I'm looking forward to the next parts in your series!
Perfect. My two favourite hobbies in one video. That trx4 is a beast
I really wish Lego could reintroduce Power Function instead of everything using apps and a smartphone screen. To me, having a physical controller with transmitter/receiver just make it simple, fun, and customizable. Like why people prefer electromechanical machines like a Jukebox over chip controlled electronics.
This is a great and really awesome video -Cant imagine the effort you took to get it made ! As a long time RC builder and more recent Lego collector /builder - I fully agree and appreciate all your insightful comments. For me, one clear differentiator is that whilst both are great hobbies for building /tinkering indoor - great RC stuff (speed, thrills, bashing) really needs to be outdoors, whereas you can really enjoy the (slower, more fragile) Lego stuff indoors. Anyways, without a doubt - you are one of the best (if not the) best TH-camrs reviewers on Lego/Technic ! Keep it up !
Agreed. Can't forget my 1/24th scale crawler and drifter guys though!
I started years ago with lego technik here and there and then lost Controll to rc kits from Tamiya and Kyosho. I love to build and drive them, especially the vintage/retro modells.
Your channel is my comfort food equivalent. None bullshit, only a cool dude talking calmly about lego
This concept is perfect! It iş definetely a clever and valueable additionto channel
As someone into RC who loves Lego, I can confirm everything in the video. I got a second-hand chinese Hosim basher for 50€ and it can do far more than a 500€ Lego RC car build any day. Whenever I want, I just plug in the battery, and enjoy.
HOWEVER: I keep coming back to Lego for its unlimited versatility. It's just so cool to build things from the ground up!
Recently I took it to the next level, making use of Arduino to build my own remote control system. Difficult but the payoff is worth it as you get performance for cheap, easy maintenance, repairability and full customization.
I just love those Lego and RC cars but comparing them even though they're all cars is like comparing apples and oranges
I love Lego and RCs. I like this crossover, and not too long from now I'm probably going to test my RCs capabilities against my Zetros... Awesome video!
I remember when I was a kid I wanted to build someday my own RC car. Maybe I should give it shot with LEGO!
Someone started a company too that makes Lego gearboxes and pieces in metal as well
If you're looking for possibly cheaper, yet still very popular sets over Traxxas; HPI Racing is based out of the UK (TIL as well) and you might have some good success with purchasing there. Their best models are any of the Savages, Baja 5B (If you can support it), and their on-road drift vehicles. Plenty of after-market support, and can last for a while.
Thanks! Very interesting!
Awesome info as usual. You asked for ideas so... I'd find a 'Lego RC MOC shootout' video interesting. A test of the best MOC in a category (eg rock crawler, 6x6, etc)
Great video! I'm a huge Lego fan, and have always lusted after "proper" remote control cars, so this was an excellent introduction to that world for me. One thing you missed though, and my only remote control car, is the Lego Racers line, and in my case the Outdoor Challenger. It has a very tenuous grasp on the world as far as being Lego goes, but it's great fun as a remote control car. Unfortunately not being really in that ecosystem means parts etc. aren't really a thing, and I did have to get creating and cut an old allen key down to stop one of the wheels coming off.
I purposefully started the history part with Power Functions and that was also limited, as LEGO had many RC attempts prior that but those sets are not widely accessible nowadays so they are not relevant as an option.
Great video as always! Neat to see both sides. Could you make a separate video of the jeep bruiser please?🙏
Those MOCs will appear in future videos as well
Love my RC cars but I'm more of a nitro guy but electric OK but I like the sound also enjoy building and flying drones.
awesome !!
lego for creativity, rc crawlers for action
thx for the video
"if you are black belt lego fan" all black belts coming together
Thanks!!
I bought xinlehong 9115 for outdoors playing, awesome car, simmilar to that buggy ;)
I have a lot of lego mocs and Just bought a traxxas rustler 4x4 vxl, i like it both and think the point with lego is that if you dont like a model annymore you can Just download instructions for a moc and build something else
Nice
Tamya is a very good brand for model kits that are non rc but can be rc if you have the courrage
Anybody notice the arm of the crane matched his microphone arm???
I also have a RC ford bronco but it is a different Brand. A Japanese brand
I just bought some lego sets. For motorizing stuff, what would you guys recommend? And for good RC functions (e.g. with smartphone)?
Check out rebrickable.com and how other people motorized those sets, that's a good start
OK, convinced (again), I stick with Lego. Liked the different MOCs of the Defender you showed. I must try the combi MOC Zetros+Defender.
Gimme all the 3D and RC content you can get!
Ive been trying to mix tamiya with lego for a couple of years now, i want to make a custom rc drift car i can mix n match pieces. Like different hood skirts bumper etc. I believe i have to buy rc motor rather than lego
(as you said expensive so money has been a problem)
Also for LEGO there are many enthusiasts, who made more powerful and compatible electronics (like Geek Servo or Godzimotor) and custom parts (like planetary gearbox, links, etc). It brings much more fun and build experience.
Have you had experience using something like that?
I have experience with BuWizz, their motors, SBrick, and also used some other components. I think everyone is free to add as much custom pieces to their builds as they feel like.
If you build LEGO RC to play with the end result (finished model) you are thinking about it wrong. The fun with LEGO is the journey. A hobby RC will always be a better vehicle to play with.
What would it be wrong to play with the finished LEGO model? Hobby RC vehicles might be superior in capabilities, but LEGO RC can still be very much playable besides the building experience.
What custom vehicle is that ? @5:46

One thing to bear in mind is that many RC cars can be bought without the electronics/motors/batteries/etc so if you have your own, or want to use better ones, you can buy the model without electronics at half the price. Lego does not offer this.
Another thing to consider is the more realistic scale RC models you can buy. You can buy fully hydraulic mechanical wonders, but they cost upwards of 3,000 dollars, some upwards of 10,000 dollars. Lego technic sometimes (though rarely) offer sets that can rival even these in terms of mechanical wonderousness and can get very close in terms of realism for a few hundred bucks. That's where technic seems to be at it's best.
You cannot buy RC LEGO sets without motors, but thanks to the fan community you can make almost all LEGO vehicles motorized / remote controlled thanks to the fan community.
Or combine both, rc all in one are great for lego.
Pretty good comparison. You mentioned all facts for making a decision what to buy. As a fan of aircrafts, there is only the rc models. Take for e.g. the Corsair fu4. To see it fly is so much more exciting.
Got me at Corsair. Could you tell me some more about that model?
I've gotten good enough at controlling my X Maxx that I can run it indoors.🤗
Well i hope LEGO will release the Lykan from Fast & Furious
So you're telling me that I CAN connect BUWIZZ 3.0 to the BRICK CONTROLLER 2 APP
Sure you can
That's how I run my modified 42124 buggy with 8BitDo Pro 2 gamepad
Petition to get him to get an Arrma Infraction
It's a very cool model, but the price on this side of the pond is almost double compared to the US price :(
The scx6 is 1/6 scale rc car
I used to live in the same neighborhood as the owner of Traxxas.
Lucky

0:18 o:
LEGO rc cars have no start to Traxxas or Tamiya, be it efficiency and fun factor.
LEGO RC can still be plenty of fun, regardless of the power or speed compared to the big guys
I'd put it this way; non-RC - LEGO, RC - Traxxas, Tamiya, HPI etc.

Bro always Lego 🦵💪 beautiful blox like roblox and Minecraft and tecnology
