Szia, biztos tudsz válaszolni: 1 sbrick kockával szeretnék 5 motort irányítani tehát az egyik slotra 2 motort akarok tenni. Ezt a 2 motort egyszerre egy irányba akarom forgatni mindig (jármű főmeghajtása 2 motorral) ez így lehetséges tudja ezt az Sbrick?
@@Pales27 igen tudja
How long does BuWizz take to charge?
@Felix Wang apparently SBrick handles the motors differently with a different current / heat protection level
good video as always need to research more sbrick features :)
Nice wrap up! Still have to try the Sbrick plus
good video Racingbrick, as always
Thank you!!!
Great video, good work :)
I have all 3 system at home and generally build alternatively with one or another. PF element are use for functionnal tests only. Buwizz is by far my favourite one for 1 to 4 function, it powerful, precise, easy to use. For larger construction or more technical one (with the use of programmed function for example) I will use the SBrick, but, in my opinion the creation of custom profile that requires to use a computer is not easy enough.
I agree it might not be that convenient since you have to use the computer, but actually it's better to use the customisation options on a bigger interface I think. It would be pretty difficult to add custom graphic elements on a mobile.
I like all your videos!, I am just wondering if you can teach me how add buwizz on LdCad
Thanks
Thanks bro
Amazing video, as always. I will much appreciate if you tell me the part number of the power function tilt and distance sensors, which are presented at 3:41. Thank you so much

Looks like i have choose the right one!
I am really struggling with this, is the Buwizz 3 pro truly programmable or is it just a glorified controller? Can it run a fairground attraction on its own for instance? Or do I have to stand there pushing sliders up and down? Thanks in advance… alan
Not programmable with any coding language, but you can configure buttons to toggle on and off different functions
BuWizz is the clear winner here nowadays
Very nicely done; very useful!
How about range of Power Functions and BuWizz?
It's mentioned in this video and there's another one linked that's a dedicated range test - czcams.com/video/Ouz_TkTWM2o/video.html
Is there a way to provide more power to the motors like Buwizz does, but with SBrick (or maybe even with normal PF)? I love the power it can give but I don't think I can dish out the money for a Buwizz :( Great video though it gives helpful info!
PF IR won't be able to handle too much. SBrick can take quite a lot, up to around 11V. There are several options to power it but most of them includes certain level of hacking, like using 2s/3s lipo batteries or similar. I'm testing a solution now that can work without any modification and still provides a fair amount of power, will share the details soon :)
lipo battery with step down regulator works treat czcams.com/video/TzvL1Y4ULVc/video.html
How do you get the rechargeable battery at 0:51? Thanks!
It's called LEGO 8878 rechargeable battery box, not sold by LEGO anymore but you can check it on ebay/amazon/bricklink/etc.
Can I use sbrick with AA battery box?
Sure
How long can a fully charged buwizz in ludicrous mode run?
Btw cool video!! Very helpful and clear ;)
Thanks! I did not measure that yet, but it depends very much on the amount of motors you connect, how hard the motors have to work, etc.
@@RacingBrick That makes sense 😂 I'm thinking about buying buwizz but it's too expensive for me now. I firstly need to buy pieces.
I have a question: the new sets are going to use the new power up system instead of power functions. Should I buy the new sets with the new system or should I only buy power functions?
This is my biggest question right now because the new system doesn't give us any advantage and the connections are different.
Thanks for your attention ;)
Sorry my English
I can tell you the same that I wrote at the end of the video. If you already have PF motors and you are not interested in the new interactive and programming features of Powered Up then you can stick to Power Functions. If you don't have much of PF then it might be good to wait and see what Powered Up can offer to you and how much will it cost compared to PF
@@RacingBrick For now I will buy some sets for pieces and by the end of the year see if it's worth buying the new Power Up system.
Thanks a lot for replying my comments :D
10 to 15 minutes. Have a second fully charged BuWizz in reserve when playin outdoors.
我觉得可以完美的做出wrc赛车用BuWizz电池。
What if i connect a sbrick to a buwizz?
Nothing special, you need to turn on that output via the BuWizz app and then you can use the SBrick ports via the SBrick app. Or you can control everything with BrickController2
Hi, i wanted to ask your opinion, if buwizz or s brick or fake lego receiver is the same by you or not ? They all not lego.
They all get in under the same category ?
Well, if an electronic product is not "fake" in a way that it's a direct copy that wants you believe it is LEGO when it isn't, then I'm fine with it. BuWizz or SBrick have a reputation becuase their products have a constant quality level, they have EU customer support and so on. Chinese Power Functions clones might be also good but it's difficult to identify the brands, their quality might vary and it's a challenge to buy the same thing twice.
@@RacingBrick thanks.
I plan to take the speed record. With 7.4v lipo and fake recievers.
I found it more close to lego then others that use 12.5v and mobile - that sertenly not ment for lego, by lego company. They not work with collaboration there... Even oposite.
What you think about it ?
I get your point that this buwizz and s-brick are new product, and not try, of copy other. It is surely totaly different quality and all, no doubt about it.
I just buy it usually from the same store, that im happy with. They not all the same. But i am buy the cheapest once. 3$ receiver.
@@yuvallegomotorized if you only have 7.4V then your build needs to be very-very lightweight to achieve high speeds
@@RacingBrick thanks,
i allready got around 35 with only 2 motors. It can more - but it wont pass 40. So i took it apart and making 4 motors car. Probebly will be ready today or tomarow. I hope and beleave that bike wont be necessary here.
I got 2 advantages and 2 disadvantages compare to buwizz or s-brick.
I wont rich shutdown protection even when the motors got fuse for that, i start full power 100% with on-off remote. 2 like you said, 4 ir and lipo weight much less then 2 buwizz.
The dis. Is range, and use of 2/3 the volts that buwizz or s-brick can give. I cant pass the 9v with ir reciever.
@@RacingBrick do you think we should compete on the same category ? or you think that each- buwizz, cada, s-brick, fake lego recievers, mold king and lots more, should be on separate category?
For me the mine diferent that take car like that, to other category is only esc and r.c radio receiver, which i dont use them.
Realy appreciate your replay 🙏
thank you
For me the best is buwizz
*BUWIZZ 101% !* it's as big as a pair of sbricks and it's also a good battery pack that (not least) provides some serious power!
Only gripe I have is the whole rechargeable battery thing, with the sbrick you can carry multiple batteries around with you but with BuWizz you'll have to buy another one! Or carry a portable charger
And CaDA power system!? Make a video of it ;) it worth it, is very good and make the motors more powerful like buwizz
I'm not sure which CaDA battery box are you talking about, but the one I tested did not provide more voltage than the LEGO version
@@RacingBrick oh sorry, the rechargeable CaDA power supply with 2.4 GHg remote control, the power supply it self is the same size as buwizz
I see the Powered up having 2 ports a major drawback. Like why not 4 omg
Bro the technic hub
Great video! I think I will buy S-Brick.....the best way to buy it is on the official site, isn't It?
Yes I think so, that's the most straightforward.
There are often local sellers on eBay who buy in stock from Hungary which are generally a bit cheaper.
Amazon if you don’t want 2 month shipping
Would you suggest BuWizz or SBrick for motorizing 42069?
I motorized it with 2 BuWizz units, you need the extra power of them to move that set at a decent speed
@@RacingBrick Thanks, and what motors would you suggest for the drive, steering, opening roof and winch
@@RacingBrick Are you sponsored? If so, by who?
I have a complete solution for 42069: racingbrick.com/lego-technic-42069-extreme-adventure-rc-mod/
Not sure how you mean sponsored. I'm not payed by anyone to create content, I have a relationship with LEGO as an RLFM and I occasionally get sets for review.
Great comparison. The question remains: Is any of these setups capable to power two rc buggy motors? ;-)
Ofkorz they can, you can even run them through the PF IR receiver. Just make sure you don't attach anything to the motors :D
:-D ...and we're heading to the Mars... what a shame.
Well i got me a Buwizz and i must say iam disappointed after all i read about it, no direct remote (yes i knew it before but still a minus) , protection kicks in way to early and way to often, cant even handle more than 2 big motors at once and drains pretty quick, then the stepper motor-like whining sound the motors make when you use this thing and for this price only 4 slots. It may be a uplift from original lego but is worse than alternate brick manufacturers
Du är svensk man såg det på batterierna (Ladda)
Those batteries are from IKEA and there are a lot of IKEA stores around the world ;)
Where are you fron
Hungary
I actually have both
Lol I have both I won a SBrick in a drawing and got a buwizz for Christmas
Which one do you use more
BuWizz
They’re both over 100$ for me so no for both haha
I don’t like not real Lego
It’s better than real lego
