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.

The Micro Motor was also available in the spare parts catalogue :)

[@FokkerBoombass]

Remember Spybotics?

[@krzysztofczarnecki8238]

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.

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

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 :)

[@ChipNebula]

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.

How does the driving and steering with only one motor work?

[@donnachaslegocreations]

@@idotic_kid Ok Thank you

[@krzysztofczarnecki8238]

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.

What do you base rarety on? Do you have the sales for these sets? This Electric Bionicle Motor Remote Control Receiver Unit (Manas) only appears in one set and it's not on the list!?

[@krzysztofczarnecki8238]

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.

[@Unbrickme]

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

[@halohm3130]

5:35 i got it in my red lego train??

[@Unbrickme]

Trains have version 1

[@MyZimeCharts]

The infared sensor version2 is also included in some train sets and in the stunt racer

[@moosimus6492]

It is pretty funny and amazing how the Lego community is always super positive, while other videos can be so negative and mean.

[@DuckInGameStop]

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?

[@DuckInGameStop]

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!

[@MrBubbleJet]

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.

[@ChipNebula]

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.

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.
