OMG the 7:12 ones are so cool... having to switch to overtake other cars but still managing power to finish the race. I LOVE IT.
I waited a long time! Cool!
Awesome video! Thank you for the clear demonstrations, this must have taken a lot of time to create!
I sometimes use the train remote (power functions) for a cruise control kinda thing
I found an app that is pretty fast to switch between hubs called boost remote but it only works for boost type hubs like the batmobile
Very useful tutorial!
How do you connect or pair the remote control with the motors?
How could u design a simple rc car thatbuses the 7 dial one tho??
1:07 I had a V2 in a City train set XD
Nice video! Very helpful! Thanks!
Thanks for the heart!
I made a fll wro rc controller with only tough sensors and a brick
Where can I find lego bricks for the first rc car?
Hello, how do we connect two controllers on one receiver? because I just got a new controller and I cannot connect it...
What happend to the motors video and the accesories video?
For the bigger dial control just use a crank
What about the Bionicle manas motor and controller
so what battery box and controller do i need if i want to use: 1x servo, 2x buggy motor, also i want it to be good for outside, as cheap as possible. Also it would be cool if knew what wires do i need (i mean adapters/converters, sorry my english (: )
There's no cheap solution to run 2 buggy motors at full power. If you are ok with a moderate power level then even a simple PF IR receiver and a PF battery box is fine, but that will be far from the full potential. You need Power Functions extension cables to connect the buggy motors to the receiver.
To run them at full speed you either need the huge bulky original RC unit but that has it's own RC controller and you can't use the PF servo with it, or you need one BuWizz unit per motor, but that's ain't cheap at all. Probably the cheapest way is to use RC components (Rc 2s/3s battery, transmitter, receiver) but that requires a lot of tinkering and it's a non-LEGO solution.
Nice experiment!
the train remote im using is useful for realistic acceleration
How do I connect the v1 receiver to controller because the receiver won't work, it's just blinking
Hello, i'm watching quite all of your vids reagarding motorizing-programming legos... and i have much confusion:
something had changed with introduction of sbrick plus and buwizz 3?
Which is the best now, is there one that is compatible with PF + Pup + Boost + fisical game pad?
What's the pro&con with the brand-new control solutions introduced in last years?
Sure many will appreciate an update concerning these arguments from you, since your vids are really clear and well organized.
Thanks for all your works & vids Dude, all useful, some priceless !!! :)
SBrick Plus has no real differences compared to SBrick as they still have Power Functions connectors. BuWizz 3 is already physically compatible with LEGO's new Powered Up system, but still has 2 "old" Power Functions connectors as well so that might be the most versatile solution currently. Thank you for the suggestion about the video, I added it to my list of ideas, hopefully I'll have some time soon to make it!
Can you make one for people that don't know Legos and technical stuff well
could you try the mould king controller? it has bluetooth and proportional steering
I've only seen the one with the buttons, do you have a link for that?
Could we use ps3 or ps4 game controller to control via Bluetooth the LEGO Powered Up motors ?!
You can use BrickController 2 with a gamepad that is compatible with your phone or tabet
Veru usefull thanks
Hello, very informational video, would you personally recommend Powered up or Power Functions systems?
It really depends on what you want to do with it and how future-proof you would like it to be. In general Power Functions is still a better choice in most of the cases, especially if you already have some parts. App control can be done with SBrick or BuWizz. Powered Up can be an option if you only start now from scratch and you're either only want to run the stock sets or very similar mocs, or you are very comfortable with visual coding because that's what you'll need to use in the Powered Up app for anything custom. An alternative for control is the BrickController 2 app, that can be used for Powered Up as well.
The CaDa remote is hard to find. It's not lego so it won't show up if you search lego. Search for cada remote and it should show up, but it will only come in sets. The sets are worth it for the pieces and extra motors alone.
I have the controller thingies, but nothing to connect it to :/
i have the v2 reciever from the 7939 set
hi great video. is Cada useable witch BrickController 2 app?
No, it doesn't work with the CaDA unit
Does the ir controller connect to the receiver automatically?
I'm new to this rc stuff
You need to set it to the same channel (there are 4 of them)
The powered up remote CAN connect to the boost hub
The video was recorded more than a year ago, there were a few updates since then...
Do the remotes work with boost?
It works with the Powered Up app and the Boost hub
hi can you create a lego project that rolls over the keyboard to bypass time tracker
I'm not sure I understand what you mean
it is a simple project i it will just roll over the keyboard pressing each key that it passes.
Can i stil buy Sbrick ?
And if ican where
I don't think they sell it new, maybe on eBay or Bricklink
Still waiting for a 2.4ghz lipo system with nice throttle and steering control, not just the motor on/off stuff that cada has.
You won't get that from LEGO, but you can build it with RC components
Mouldking 6.0 has it
I saw someone use a ps4 controller with their lego sets. Is that possible? And if so, how?
Look for videos about BrickController 2 on my channel, that's the app to use.
And now we have control+ to. And its compatible with buwizz app 😀
Control+ is only the app, the Technic hub is also part of the Powered Up family, just like the smaller train hub and Boost
and buwizz works with power functions
Do you need one reciever for each motor?
Definitely not, the IR receiver has 3 channels, BuWizz has 4 etc.
Ok thanks👍
Hello. Good video. CaDA made BT controller remote with phone.
Did you find any videos about it?
@@RacingBrick Hello. Az aliexpressen keress rá az sbrickre vagy buwizzra.
You search on aliexpress: "sbrick" or "buwizz"
😁
Where can I buy those controller and those
Which controller exactly?
@@RacingBrick smalled one
@@akiny6551 you did not really help :) The LEGO controllers can be bought in LEGO shops. The black one that I used with SBrick and that can be used with the BrickController 2 app is an ipega PG9025, you can check it here - ebay.to/318Gy7I
in this video it is not clear which controllers are on / off and which progressives
How do I connect my receiver to my remote, I’ve been looking everywhere but I still don’t know how 😕
You need to be a little bit more specific, which receiver to which remote?
@@RacingBrick sorry for not answering, I don’t usually check my notifs. I’m using the v1 ir receiver and the small controller
@@RacingBrick but the controller was from China and doesn’t seem to be branded
@@Sam.Rugby.69 I'm sorry but you need to get in touch with the seller to figure out how these off-brand controllers work
@@RacingBrick oh, thanks anyways!
0:58 how do make a car with the the train controller
As I demonstrated the train controller is really not suitable for cars. It is too slow for both speed and steering control.
@@RacingBrick i know but you still demonstrated it working in the video. I dont need anything fancy and i dont care if its suitable, its the only controller i have
As you can see in the video you simply connect a servo motor for steering and another one (M/L/XL) for driving. But I'd still suggest to get the small PF remote, that works much better for this purpose.
For the Pros and Cons: Powered UP is the only system the needs AAA batteries which must be charged outside the box. All other systems can run on usb rechargeable lithium ion batterie boxes. Thats what mainly kills Powered UP for me...
Show me please the Power Functions USB rechargeable battery box :) Btw check out this one, I have a video published about it recently - keybrick.one/
I don't think CaDa's engine is bad but its engine is a bit weak and LeGo's engine is more powerful.
Hello, I've got a question to the Brick: How can you add a symbol like a winch or a light for example to you buttons to make it more clear? By the way: great video!
*I ment SBrick
In SBrick designer when you create a new profile, in the bottom left corner there is a big + sign. If you click on that you can select "image resource", you can add a graphic file from your computer.
RacingBrick Hello, thank you very much for your quick answer, it helped me a lot!
Mennyi lesz az ára? tudok egy horribilis árat de remélem le megy 40000ezer forintal mint a bugattinál. De a 7motor xl vagy többféle lesz-e? liebheer -re vonatkozik a kérdés.
450 EUR lesz az indulóára, biztos később megy majd lefelé
Azt nem lehet még tudni hogy milyen motorok lesznek benne, szinte biztos hogy nem csak egyféle
Cant wait till control+ comes out, that will enter a brand new level of RC
We'll see what we get. Control + will be also part of the Powered Up family (according to my understanding), so it'll be basically a biggyer Powered Up hub with 4 ports. I really hope there'll be another remote that fits better the Technic sets, that would be a really big step for Powered Up.
@@RacingBrick a question power up functions can be used outdoors right
@@hazem8331 it's much better than Power Functions since it uses Bluetooth and not infrared
@@RacingBrick about which one are you talking the control + ?
@@hazem8331 although we cannot be 100% sure since it is not released but I say that Control+ will use the same protocol as Powered Up and Boost, so all of them has Bluetooth and they work the same way.
Why is my ir not working
Try testing out the cada rc chassis
No thanks, I was only interested in their remote
who can tell me how to make a lego remote control.
Info invaluable in the video - thanks, but necessity to read was very tiresome. Had to re-watch several times to get the clue.
The video would have been aprox 30min if he didn't cut each section short. You as the viewer have the power over the pause button which is kinda expected to be used here. Props to @RacingBrick for putting so much tested info in just one video in under 10 min!
Build them on front of us
Very confusing to see what module is what name. Really.
Berapa mas
You forgot ev3
I did not forget it, ev3 is an independent system mainly for coding, not compatible with Powered Functions or Powered Up
szia racingbrick láttad e az új szetteket ua-cam.com/video/rD-IEMTmXx4/v-deo.html itt a link én vagyok techniking az iskolás profil más.
Láttam :)
8:30 you forgot about a con, it costs $149 USD.
2:00, steering geometry..... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 bravo:) Xd
Ребзя ребзя,скоро КС наступит
CaDa,BuWizz and Sbrick are non Lego.
I don't think anyone said they are LEGO
bu wizz rc thing is expensive
It depends, compared to what? Try to add the rechargeable Lego battery, the charger, an IR reciever and a remote. Won't be much cheaper and you'll have only 2 channels, short range IR and less power.
@@RacingBrick yeah true
These videos annoy me. I understand there can be a language barrier but good God, WWAAAAAYYYY to fast a demonstration while trying to read. things in a flash.
Pause. Read. Resume. If the text stays longer then others complain... one of the reasons why I abandoned subtitles in my new videos.
Those japan people again>:(
Plssss give me some one the all😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
That pounding music is very annoying. Please don't use it.
Please stop complaining about the music, it's impossible to choose something that fits everyone's taste. If you don't like it, simply use the mute button.
Why dont use fucking mute button?
