I don't have any powered up hubs and likely won't be getting any, but I'll gladly back this if it means getting a version for the control+hub later. Thanks racingbrick for the thorough review!
Thanks for this review! You supported great startup and we can hope to get another super usefull battery replacements for all new lego electronics line. Sure it will become cheaper and more powerfull somedays.
The PUp Team from LEGO also said in different interviews that they are working on a rechargeable solution for both the train hub and the Technic Hub. They are designed ready for rechargeable swap. So by the time the kickstarter brings out these upgrades we might see official ones. What I like about the KS version is the possibility of switching between modes and rotation direction but the drawback is the need for an accessible battery box which wouldn't work in a train that well. Would be cool if LEGO's version also had a micro usb rechargeable port and not the round port.
I wouldn't hold my breath for an official solution soon, considering the speed of development over at LEGO. As I see they need a proper set first to justify the release of such product, and it wouldn't have for sure added functionality like the different power modes.
@@mwmanus Yeah, that was an unexpected move from TLG to rather make a completely new hub and with 3.7V rechargeable battery only. It seems P-UP is being retired altogether. Let's see what hubs the new trains will contain.
Btw for the smaller hub you can buy adapter cables from old system, and stack them togheter i think, this way you have more outputs. not seperated but still.
I started to thinking is it worth to buy keybrick ( its not affordable for me), or maybe to buy lego 88009 hub, and some better recharchable batteries? What i mean is this, maybe for example eneloop batteries could be better than ikea ones? (unfortunelty im not good at electronics to compare them even on paper) eneloops batteries are used in flashlights for photography and there their have very good reputation.
The benefit of the new Powered Up system is obvious. The coding possibilities, no I’m talking about there not being a stupid servo motor that constantly breaks :).
I just saw that Lego released a USB charger, and a new hub (but seems to still be battery powered). But what could be the purpose of the USB charger if there are no usb-powered things for Lego?
Not sure which "new hub" you refer to, do you have a set/part number? The 88019 USB adapter they released can only be used with the Spike Prime and Spike Essential hubs.
One suggestion.. charging port should be on top if possible.. why? You dont have to take out battery when charging .. like in lego battery..8878.. socket is ob tip and I dont need to dissamble whole train.. just top part and charger comes easy.
It is a modified version of 42109, I changed the colors and replaced the Technic hub with the AAA hub (it required some structural changes). You can see more of it in this video - ua-cam.com/video/vq1M4aIy3sQ/v-deo.html
@@RacingBrick Thank you very much dude. I love your Videos. I have the 42109. I will Bild a light mod. I have the old Power functions Motors and lights. I dont want to pay 10€ for the New powered up lights. I can still use my old Things. Why buying New, when already have lights
@@paulalbrechts6054 well the adapters ain't cheap either, but if you use it for lights and you stack them then it can be a better deal at the end than buying PU lights.
I wonder if this would fit into the Boost. I teach Boost classes and changing the batteries in class is a bit of a pain. The Boost battery box has this little notch on it though, which is a bit annoying as I imagine this would make it incompatible
@@noobpoob3889 Given the limited success of the BOOST system, I'm not sure there ever will be one. I am very glad the new Mindstorms 51515 has a rechargeable battery.
I actually prefer slotted screws over Philips. Philips is the worst screw head design in the world, it is DESIGNED to slip off when too much torque is applied. Idiotic if you consider, that this always damages the screw head.

Thanks for all your hard work, this is some solid research.
Man, you are turning into the Project Farm channel for LEGO.
Which is outstanding.
Happy I subscribed to your channel. You found just what I was looking for with perfect timing.
Thanks for this review! You supported great startup and we can hope to get another super usefull battery replacements for all new lego electronics line. Sure it will become cheaper and more powerfull somedays.
Didn't know about this battery but it is really amazing. Nice work!
Thank you for sharing ❤️

1 year later still nothing? :/ would be cool to have lipo modules officially.
3 years later and still nothing@@AlienPrague
4 years later and still nothing 😢

Seems good, I hope they do a rechargeable pack for the Technic hub with the same magnet switch - that feature is really cool.
Btw for the smaller hub you can buy adapter cables from old system, and stack them togheter i think, this way you have more outputs. not seperated but still.
A rechargeable battery for the technic hubs would incredible.
looks nice👍
Hopefully they make one for the control+ hub too

I’m interested in the spike prime program you made!
Where can I find that adapter cable You use on the Buwizz???

perfect as always thank you

Very nice product, what a shame lego didn't make it. Anyway, will you review the new upcoming Buwizz motor that will be a Buwizz made Buggy motor?
I definitely will when it becomes available :)
@@RacingBrick Thanks, I am looking forward to that video. It will be extremely interesting.
One suggestion.. charging port should be on top if possible.. why? You dont have to take out battery when charging .. like in lego battery..8878.. socket is ob tip and I dont need to dissamble whole train.. just top part and charger comes easy.
Great video!
88009 can use for programing ?
Cool
Is the rally car costume build, built with the internet instructions from the lego app
It is a modified version of 42109, I changed the colors and replaced the Technic hub with the AAA hub (it required some structural changes). You can see more of it in this video - ua-cam.com/video/vq1M4aIy3sQ/v-deo.html
Is it true buwizz is releasing a motor soon?
Thanks for the nice video can you please make another video about the Lego technic 42113?
I made already more than one, what is missing from those?
@@RacingBrick yes I saw them all, but I want more! Can you try those accessories with it?
@@zbricks4107 which accessories? Keybrick One does not work with that hub.
@@RacingBrick OK, but you will not build it using existing parts?
@@zbricks4107 ah that one, yes I was planning to do that but it has to wait a bit.
Try putting a wall behind the train. It looks like your sensor is seeing the train go across the other side of the oval much of the time.
Which motor and powerpack are you using in the Landrover defender video and do you recommend that or are there better ones ? Just for testing
I used a Large motor with a Power Functions battery box
@@RacingBrick thank you
@RacingBrick where do you bought the adapterr from powerfunctions to powerd up? can you send me an link?
This is my video about the adapter cables, there's a link in the description - ua-cam.com/video/ic7UeWuHrY4/v-deo.html
@@RacingBrick Thank you very much dude. I love your Videos. I have the 42109. I will Bild a light mod. I have the old Power functions Motors and lights. I dont want to pay 10€ for the New powered up lights. I can still use my old Things. Why buying New, when already have lights

That make sence I can Stack the lights. I have the 42109 and there left only 2 Port
I would think that the 1 big battery would be heavier.
I wonder if this would fit into the Boost. I teach Boost classes and changing the batteries in class is a bit of a pain. The Boost battery box has this little notch on it though, which is a bit annoying as I imagine this would make it incompatible

🤔I noted an Israeli accent. Kool. And great vid!😳😁👍🏻
I did not know Hungarians have an Israeli accent :)
@@RacingBrick 😳😱😂Dayumn! You really had me fooled, meng! The simarities of both accents, are astonishing. For-real talk.😁
What is the name of the app
Powered Up
Would it work with LEGO boost?
No, that's physically different
@@RacingBrick so I have to wait for boost one. I have boost hub.
@@RacingBrick I liked the video
@@noobpoob3889 Given the limited success of the BOOST system, I'm not sure there ever will be one.
I am very glad the new Mindstorms 51515 has a rechargeable battery.
@@notexcisting546 sadly , i have only boost. Of course because of price.

White color would be better.

Micro USB? Seriously?
Was thinking the same
This has been sold out for months now wtf
You can use the contact form on the webpage to ask about it
Ridiculous price.
