      Szia, biztos tudsz válaszolni: 1 sbrick kockával szeretnék 5 motort irányítani tehát az egyik slotra 2 motort akarok tenni. Ezt a 2 motort egyszerre egy irányba akarom forgatni mindig (jármű főmeghajtása 2 motorral) ez így lehetséges tudja ezt az Sbrick?

    Great video, good work :)
    I have all 3 system at home and generally build alternatively with one or another. PF element are use for functionnal tests only. Buwizz is by far my favourite one for 1 to 4 function, it powerful, precise, easy to use. For larger construction or more technical one (with the use of programmed function for example) I will use the SBrick, but, in my opinion the creation of custom profile that requires to use a computer is not easy enough.

    • @RacingBrick
      @RacingBrick  5 років тому +1

      I agree it might not be that convenient since you have to use the computer, but actually it's better to use the customisation options on a bigger interface I think. It would be pretty difficult to add custom graphic elements on a mobile.

      @@RacingBrick That makes sense 😂 I'm thinking about buying buwizz but it's too expensive for me now. I firstly need to buy pieces.
      I have a question: the new sets are going to use the new power up system instead of power functions. Should I buy the new sets with the new system or should I only buy power functions?
      This is my biggest question right now because the new system doesn't give us any advantage and the connections are different.

      I can tell you the same that I wrote at the end of the video. If you already have PF motors and you are not interested in the new interactive and programming features of Powered Up then you can stick to Power Functions. If you don't have much of PF then it might be good to wait and see what Powered Up can offer to you and how much will it cost compared to PF

    Is there a way to provide more power to the motors like Buwizz does, but with SBrick (or maybe even with normal PF)? I love the power it can give but I don't think I can dish out the money for a Buwizz :( Great video though it gives helpful info!

    • @RacingBrick
      @RacingBrick  5 років тому

      PF IR won't be able to handle too much. SBrick can take quite a lot, up to around 11V. There are several options to power it but most of them includes certain level of hacking, like using 2s/3s lipo batteries or similar. I'm testing a solution now that can work without any modification and still provides a fair amount of power, will share the details soon :)

    Well i got me a Buwizz and i must say iam disappointed after all i read about it, no direct remote (yes i knew it before but still a minus) , protection kicks in way to early and way to often, cant even handle more than 2 big motors at once and drains pretty quick, then the stepper motor-like whining sound the motors make when you use this thing and for this price only 4 slots. It may be a uplift from original lego but is worse than alternate brick manufacturers

    Hi, i wanted to ask your opinion, if buwizz or s brick or fake lego receiver is the same by you or not ? They all not lego.
    They all get in under the same category ?

    • @RacingBrick
      @RacingBrick  2 роки тому +1

      Well, if an electronic product is not "fake" in a way that it's a direct copy that wants you believe it is LEGO when it isn't, then I'm fine with it. BuWizz or SBrick have a reputation becuase their products have a constant quality level, they have EU customer support and so on. Chinese Power Functions clones might be also good but it's difficult to identify the brands, their quality might vary and it's a challenge to buy the same thing twice.

      I get your point that this buwizz and s-brick are new product, and not try, of copy other. It is surely totaly different quality and all, no doubt about it.
