    I use the cubes for my city tram. For such small motors they pack a punch. Only, like you said, rubber bands for traction are needed

      Nice, the size to power ratio of the motors is really impressive, these are a game changer for me.

    You just did everything I was hoping to do, and saved me a bunch of money by introducing me to circuit cubes. Thank you so much!

    LEGO needs to invest in technology like circuit cubes

      Yeah they do, my fear would be it would end up 3x more expensive than it needs to be.

    Hi I have seen on another video two motors with the Leeds joined together to doubled the power, so if you put the moters back to back with 1stud space between them and twist the connecting wire 180 degrees so they turn in the same direction and plug the lead into the side of the nearest motor into the cube , the only drawback is the battery may only last for half the time , have fun.

      That's a cool tip! I will have to try it next time I build one with Circuit Cubes.

    We are looking forward for the Orient Express modification to get it to drive like this Hogwarts Express

      ik the orient express is way heavier but conceptually its cool

    • @DunksterBricks

      Yes, I think the Orient Express would be too heavy for this, hopefully it's big enough for Powered up to fit.

      But what is ik?

    A side by side run time would be amazing!?
    My child would like his hogwarts express powering, but how often will i be charging it? Or is it possible to add a second battery?

    • @DunksterBricks
      @DunksterBricks  11 місяців тому +1

      So this is a very specific solution to a specific issue which the Circuit Cubes controller battery hub and motor are ideal for. I don't think a comparison with Powered Up or Power Functions would be fair as that's much larger and would provide longer run time. I ran this for about an hour with no issue. On a smaller layout with less straights and therefore more frequent curves it would mean the motor would have to work harder. I haven't run this long enough to find out how long it lasts.
