BuWizz Motor review and comparison

[@robbinhasseltof4428]

The yellow capacitor you mention is actually a fuse which triggers on temprature rise: the overcurrent protection you mention later on. You can remove it very easily btw if it triggers to much, at your own risk of course :)

[@Michalloyd]

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

[@robbinhasseltof4428]

@@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.

[@JerryLEGOcreations]

Good comparison! The BuWizz motor looks like a good (and cheaper) alternative to the Lego one

[@Michalloyd]

Thank you!

[@papipiibuilds6788]

Great review! I am probably getting one buwizz 2.0 and a buwizz motor 👍

[@Michalloyd]

Thank you and have fun! :D

[@mikehatcher2348]

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)

[@papipiibuilds6788]

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

[@JoelSmiley]

interesting...

[@dalevridge]

very gut review

[@Monster-st8hb]

I love this video, so when i tested these Buwizz Motors, they worked very well because of the air vet that was not there for the Lego buggy motor. The air vent makes heat go away pretty fast and when you run these Buwizz Motors, you can feel the cool breeze coming out of the motor's air-vents. Can you Plz🥺 make a video to test out two motors connected to a BUWIZZ 3.0???? PLEASE DO IT, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE RESULTS! THANK YOU!!! -MARS

[@Michalloyd]

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

[@Monster-st8hb]

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

[@Monster-st8hb]

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

[@Michalloyd]

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

Great that the Buwizz 3 MOC for the Lamborghini 42115 will be placed on Rebrickable. This message is announced with ' Comming soon'. Any idea when that will be? I'am interested to build this RC Lamborghini version.

[@glowytheglowbug]

hella cool :D

[@Channelofsimulations]

What buwizz speed mode (slow-lucrds) did you use in the top speed part? I’d like to hear that😊

[@Michalloyd]

Ludicrous speed mode for both cars

[@josephstalin4199]

can you list the parts you used in this vehicle ( i want to try build one myself) thx.

[@arcanace_]

Do you have any Green Gecko Alternative Buggy Motors? If so, how does it compare to the BuWizz Motor?

[@Michalloyd]

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

[@arcanace_]

@@Michalloyd Ok

[@jjlane9191]

That is a good question.

[@jjlane9191]

By any chance would you know if a SBrick can handle two Buwizz motors?

[@Michalloyd]

Sbrick itself might but the battery box definitely won't

[@zat-1-fury]

What if you remove the overcurrent protection in buggy motor and compare them ???

[@Michalloyd]

I don't feel like Modifying my expensive buggy motors

[@JoelSmiley]

[@Marlon_J.]

Thanks for your idea to do a vid like this. Do u also like me have the situation that they do overheat when used on ludi. and smell burned as the oil inside heats up? Had that problem with a L motor and it did smoke but buwizz motors just smell when I used them much plus they're hot then

[@Michalloyd]

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.

[@aaroncampbell6846]

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.

[@Marlon_J.]

@@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. 🤙🏻

[@Michalloyd]

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.

[@grovecitysirens_GCS]

Bruh why the mor Tor so dirty

[@THD2048HT]

I desolderd the overcurent protection on my motor

[@Michalloyd]

I don't feel like opening these expensive motors

[@jojojojovlak2510]

the lego motor that you use isnt original because the buggy motor hasnt got cable

[@Michalloyd]

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