Ludicrous speed mode for both cars

The cable isn't permanently attached to the motor. The connector even has a different color from the motor itself

Unfortunately I have disassembled this moc a long time ago. But I am sure you will find much better ones on rebrickable

Thank you! Unfortunately I don't own a BuWizz 3.0 nor do I plan on buying one as I also don't have the new C+ motors

@@Michalloyd Sorry for your time, what are C+ MOTORS??? Are they a specific type of motors?🤔😶

@@Michalloyd I am planning to make a Guiness World Record at a top speed of 60-70 Kilometers an Hour 🤫

Sorry for the super late response. C+ (control plus) motors is the new "power system" for Lego technic and it uses different connectors as PF (Power Functions which I use) so it's not backwards compatible

@@Michalloyd , YESSSS SIRRRR

czcams.com/video/i6Ob-CJEhSY/video.html here are video instructions

Can't say I disagree. I am considering considering remaking this video with more similar cars and better (or more) tests. Also both of the cars have 2 motors

@@Michalloyd I meant with the two Motors driving both axles independently

@@Michalloyd Always nice to see a creator who replies quick keep up the good work.

@@biggycheese5751 oh that car. Yea that's true. Also thank you. As a small creator I don't get that many comments so replying relatively quickly to them is quite easy.

I can't say I disagree. It is hard to control at high speeds. Wishbones are holding up nicely but positive caster angle would definitely help. I just couldn't figure out how to implement it without it taking lot's of space

Mostly yes but the way I mounted the ball joint would interfere with Buggy motors. You would have to move it by a stud

Glad you like it :D

4x4 would be better but I couldn't figure out how to implement it into my suspension setup

@@Michalloyd got that same thought. Only solution i can thinking of, is to put 2 motors in front, 1 per wheel. but it wont be easy tusk with buggy motors, if its even possible to do that... Im not sure

Yea I agree

I don't feel like Modifying my expensive buggy motors

@@Michalloyd relatable😂

Someone already mentioned it to me couple weeks back. But thank you for quick explanation. I'd rather leave it there to not burn the motor. They are relatively cheap but not free

@@Michalloyd I had a chinese Mouldking RC motor and the fuse triggered even under normal use after 30 secs. So I had to remove it to make it usefull.

I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

Sbrick itself might but the battery box definitely won't

Рада что тебе понравилось :)

Im going to do more fair tests and basically a redo of this video. I think it was really unfair for the chassis that lost because it had way too many gears

I don't feel like opening these expensive motors

That's one way of looking at it. What I tried to test is if it is worth having a central driveshaft between the two axles or not. I'm actually considering a remake of this video with 2 more similar chassis

@@Michalloyd it is an interesting question. Theory: With separate drivetrains you simulate the effect of an open differential. Benefit: the transmission won't wind up as you go round a bend, and it won't tend to push itself straight on. Downside: the end with more traction will stall its motor, then you're out of luck as the spare power from the end without traction can't be shared. With a solid central driveshaft, the load can be better spread across the 4 wheel. But plenty of downsides if it's to be used on a surface with good traction.

Exactly! I'm definitely going to do the remake. 2 chassis that have the same weight, number of gears, weight distribution. Only difference will be the central driveshaft.

Lots of methodology problems. A big one in my eyes is traction. The wheels aren’t being cleaned before every test and the test track isn’t clean. Even a tiny bit of dust on them changes traction enormously, which is a lot of what’s being tested. Another variable is weight placement relative to the axles.

I'm sorry but I don't have any.

@@Michalloyd Ok

That is a good question.

Thank you and have fun! :D

you would be far better off going for the Buwizz 3.0 (which can run 2x buwizz motors at max speed - the 2.0 cant)

@@mikehatcher2348 yeah! But i only have pf motors😅

On ludicrous speed mode the BuWizz motor smells a little bit but didn't notice any problems. As with other lego motors I haven't encountered any issues. They all have overheat protections so they will just shut off. It happened to me once with 2 XL motors after hour and half driving on fast mode under heavy load.

If you've got an infinite budget for replacing motors, have fun and eat 'em up. It's possible to connect 2 BuWizz to one motor, and that'll really make stuff fly (off of your build and into the unknown with the rest of your lost Lego!). To be completely serious, you can and will eventually destroy your motors and BuWizz batteries if you run them hard all the time. - BuWizz motors are the hardest to destroy, they're designed to handle 15+ V for extended periods, and can handle 22.4 V for at least 8.5 minutes. That was me with the 8.5min, that's all I was brave enough for with my finite budget. That said, revving them 0-100 all the time is not recommended. - BuWizz 3.0 are tougher than the 2.0, but you can still absolutely kill them if you're quickly revving the motor to 100% on ludicrous mode. - Lego PF motors are aging now, and with that you can expect them to get upset when you abuse them with 11.2 V. They're technically '12 V' motors, but they're not designed to handle the current that BuWizz batteries release, so use them cautiously on ludicrous mode. - It is not recommended to use the Lego buggy motor on ludicrous mode. I mean come on, it's like 20 years old now.

@@aaroncampbell6846 too true, everything gets old... I've gone to my limits with lego, motorized the Doms Dodge charger with buwizz 2.0, 2 buwizz motors, 2 Pairs of lego lights and a servo, remodeled it slightly and now got into hobby grade rc. Got myself 2 Tamiya's, a tt01 and tt02 and latest a Traxxas udr and I'm happy now. 🤙🏻

I use my motors and buwizzes quite a lot and after years of use I noticed that the battery life is getting shorter but that's to be expected with any battery powered products. As for motors I try to avoid giving them full throttle right away. And I have never managed to burn one. But on both of my XL motors I broke the orange outputs. To be fair I used them mostly outdoors so just the dirt and dust getting in there might have worn down the orange outputs enough to break them.

Try holding the button for 10 seconds. If that doesn't work let it completely discharge (it may take a day or two) then plug it on a charger and it should be fine. This happened to me too and this worked just fine for me

Thank you!
