Thats good bro

You want to tell me that a Chinese copy is better than an original ? NO WAY!!!

[@funbrick]

Nothing is being claimed. Everything is shown in the video. The tests are astonish. But draw your own conclusions! Perhaps other exemplars will have a different result.

[@oldhorn420]

Why do you hate the Chinese copy? Lego doesn't even make them anymore and it's insanely expensive

[@bluegamer6934]

I don't hate Chinese copies , the idea is that the lego motors are much more expensive but less powerful than those copies, and that it's insane!

[@funbrick]

@@bluegamer6934 Maybe the original ones will be more durable?

[@oldhorn420]

@@bluegamer6934 well that could be a pro or a con Pros: better torque while having higher speed Cons: more power consumption

[@ifeelhealu6059]

These motors actually pretty good, just don't buy fake servos.Chinese buggy motors also nice for that price, but you need to remove their strange thermal protection first.

[@i_Max_i]

Servos are worse? I have only copy, recieved few days ago, for now it works, but I don't use it so much.

[@MonteHuerta]

The servos I’ve gotten work correctly when connected to a switch, so I’ll just use a switch as an extension and it works out fine.

[@RemoteTroll]

I have one of those Chinesse buggy motors like mould king is the brand I will tell you mine does not use the thermal protection I can leave it running for 2 straight minutes and can make it burn the plastic through friction and it will not stop until I stop it

[@funbrick]

Time will tell how well they are. They are definitely much cheaper. It is a pity that their characteristics do not match the original ones and because of this they cannot be used together in complex models.

[@JonnySherif]

In germany we dont say: fake lego instat we say: Klembausteine

[@JeyBeeHH]

The Chinese "fake" motors are definitely faster and also seem to be a bit more powerful. I would be very interested in this for my Lego Technic car. It's a shame that there is no manufacturer name or source.

[@funbrick]

These are nameless motors. They were bought through the online-marketplace. No box, no brand, no name...

[@milespeterson5049]

Yes, the fake motors are faster, but here's the catch: They will spin faster than LEGO motors, but have less torque (meaning they won't have as much power to move things). *I will delete this comment if it gets more hate*

[@funbrick]

The video shows exactly the movement of objects. And you draw own conclusions.

[@milespeterson5049]

@@funbrick I'm not drawing my own conclusions. It's really just common sense. You can't have a super high-speed motor with a lot of torque, nor a super high-torque motor with high-speed. It's one or the other.

[@weylinwest9505]

@@milespeterson5049 Perhaps in the first motor, LEGO had torque, but only a little. Otherwise, to me, it looked like the same torque but with higher speed. Depending on where the motors came from, they may be of better quality, power, etc than the standard LEGO ones. Consider Brick Technology's video with the air-powered pistons*. The performance improvement difference was considerable. *kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZTVgmNvppp9mdE

[@kalle5548]

​@milespeterson5049 Ish, if we are talking power budget, you have to reduce torque at higher rpm, but at the same rpm, they could have the same torque. If I'd guess the fake ones have about the same torque but are allowed to rev out more, as i think lego is limiting the rpm so that the motors appear more powerful

[@RemoteTroll]

The fake motor won on the torque test

[@lutzmeuthen634]

everything not Lego is better than Lego

[@DestineeGrimes]

The red motors use a lot more power

[@funbrick]

This is not always the case. The price is really cheaper. But the quality of fakes is often inferior to the original.

Wow its so satisfying to watch these lego stuff bro

[@jackradzelovage6961]

- 1 - youre a huge bother to ocd humans by not fully snapping your pieces together XD - 2 - the chinese ones always win. lego motors are meant to be very safe in terms of kids building things that leave them stalled for extended periods of time and that sort of thing, so its not a surprise to me that the ones with no protections built in (good) perform better - 3 - yes chinese stuff is cheap for a litany of bad reasons, but considering how much lego has been charging for really basic kits its hard for me to remain a purist (and for me personally, how many technic supercar shelf queens theyve come out with in the last few years that arent exactly exciting) ...i also bought two XL motors from Lepin a few years ago with the intent to disassemble them and use the casings for modded stuff, and they both outperformed the actual XL motors by quite a bit out of the box. i have very distant plans to build a fully lego (aside from various rubber bands) full-size pinball machine. It would follow a 70s relay-based electromechanical setup inside to produce the logic (id use motors and switches) instead of cheating with something like an NXT to handle it all digitally... of course thats gonna require a grand total of like 100+ power functions switches. after seeing the price of used switches ($15-20 US) on ebay and similar sites, and the price of new "legoly" ones on alibaba (~$1.00), why wouldnt i use the chinese ones? sure a life-size lego pinball machine is cooler when its 100% vanilla, but also i cant afford $12000 worth of a plastic toy because of a logo on the studs. i can afford a $1000 toy with blank studs in pieces over time though

[@funbrick]

Thank you for your big comment with a long text. ;-) The video does not draw conclusions, but only shows a comparison! No statements. And for whom it is worse or better, let everyone decide for himself... Good luck! :-)

[@jackradzelovage6961]

@@funbrick this is just one of many videos (and my own aforementioned experience) that all have the same result though: the knockoffs are better than the originals, and my theory without checking is that the knockoffs dont have the protective thermistor inside them and thus work better under load. you didnt draw conclusions but youre still a data point :)

[@funbrick]

Of the original LEGO motors I have, identical models still have slightly different characteristics (rotation speed). Which is surprising, since a more expensive product could at least have stable characteristics. Because of this, it is not always possible to realize what is planned, or it takes a long time to sort through all the available ones in order to select an equivalent pair, and when even more of them are needed for a model, the task of selecting equivalent ones becomes even more difficult.

[@Mike-fb6zw]

I’m getting my first Lego motors for my birthday. I can finally make elevators

[@stronknoobstronknoob2367]

Nice I might get some too

[@The-creator-of-good-videos-15]

Somehow, the fake ripoffs are a lot more faster than the real original Lego ones.

[@M-A-R-C-E-LL-Oo]

It would have been interesting to see if they could lift more weight! In the tests with the vehicles, the only thing that matters is whether they can apply the force to the ground. Attaching the weights would also be desirable.

[@funbrick]

After a while, a new video will be released on the FunBrick channel with a comparison of 5 motors and there will be a pressure test on the scales - this will be more accurate than lifting weights.

[@Cloud_Shire_82]

It makes sense that the after market are stronger and faster, they are made with newer motors. LEGO is also known to cheap out on their electronics

[@i_Max_i]

Saw on Ali another pf L motor, "overspeed" as says in description - 1400rpm... Interesting thing, but it costs twise than regular and red, and how long it will work...

[@funbrick]

And why does it have such a high rotation speed? Due to the deterioration of the torque?

[@Cloud_Shire_82]

@@funbrick Purhaps its ment to micmic the buggy motor at a smaller scale, with a more expensive and faster motor. Maybe also use it for your lego rc cars to make them go fast enough to shake themselfs to bits lol.

I personally don't condemn copies, only if those copies can be the same or even better

[@davidboxtoys]

Sim ,mesmo porque nem todos poderão comprar os originais

[@funbrick]

If make a copy, it would be better if it completely coincided in characteristics so that it could be used in conjunction with the original. And if you do it better, then maybe you should use a different size and format of the cases so that they differ?

[@billybcgg]

Please also compare both the price👍

[@funbrick]

Chinese fake ones are much cheaper, but the price also depends on the country and shipping costs.

[@UnreasonablyIrrelevant-gv8xx]

I believe the reason that the off brand ones are more powerful is because it doesnt have a voltage limiter, which protects the motor and makes it last longer. The lego motor *will* outlast the cheap chinese rip off

[@funbrick]

Maybe so. Later it was noticed that the fake motors continue to hum when locked, which probably confirms this theory. It's a pity to disassemble them.

Does lego still make a motor that is not geared down like they did in the 90's?

Your question is unclear. Please explain it in a different way.

[@ikonix360]

@@funbrick back in the 90s I had a lego technic set where the plastic piece that is shaped like the axles was straight on the motor shaft and the only gears to slow it down were whatever gears you put on the bricks.

These sets are now on eBay for about £15 / $20 and are actually a good source of parts. I just bought two for exactly that reason. Not interested in the app or anything else - just want the parts, some of which are not easy to get elsewhere.

[@funbrick]

On chinese marketplaces (such as AliExpress), you can even find a little cheaper.

[@chasesrailwaylinesrr6447]

It seems like any kind of fake Chinese product with a motor the motor always has a higher speed rotation Then it's real counterpart

This is why i prefer chinas motors

[@funbrick]

Wires was really a pity. :'-( But otherwise the comparison would be dubious and would cause a lot of controversy if different battery packs were used (after all, their different charge would probably greatly influence the result). Therefore, different motors were deliberately connected in parallel to one battery pack. It would be possible to stretch ropes shorter than the wires, and then all the load would fall on the ropes, and not on the wires. But then it would look less beautiful on camera. ;-)

[@averagerexchannel]

maybe the lego motors arent new?

[@funbrick]

The engines that took part in the tests were almost never used before. There are several other LEGO motors that have gotten worse over time, but they did not participate in the filming.

[@rakowumusic5143]

Am i wrong or is the torque the same but with more speed from the red one? I don't see there any torque difference.

[@funbrick]

A conditional rough test of torque comparison can be seen in this video where the motors are compared in pairs using a differential.

They are both fake. On the sidenof the real one it is supposed to say "LEGO" in the little box on the side. None of them say "LEGO" on the side, Therefore they are both fake. The gray fake has a voltage limiter. So does the real one. But the red fake one does not. That is why the red one is faster and has more torque.
