    Do you think removing the thermistor would solve the problem with the chinese motor? Or won't the buwizz protection be enough to keep it from burning out?

    @Marxpek: Can you verify the ~2500 rpm at buwizz 2 ludicrous / buwizz 3? because at one of their videos they show they have 2500rpm at 12V, curious if those 3 additional Volt will give that more rpm (is this old train thingy from your video 9V odr 12V output?)

    How can you turn off the protection? Others have used buwizz ludicrous with rc buggy motors seemingly without this issue.

      @marxpeklegotechnicdesign3  4 года назад +3

      You cant it is there for a reason. Models that have no issues with ludicrous are geared lower and requires less power. It all depends on powerdelivery. You can almost always ease into lud. mod like i did on my buwizz speedrecord going full power too fast results in the protection tripping. It comes down to howmuch you ask of the motors. These testcars were pretty harsh on the motors.

    @thatoneguywhoknittedthejim2912 4 года назад +1

    Good video. My guess as to why the monster motor was slower is that it has higher internal friction. I also noticed that you were holding the tachometer differently in each test, but I doubt that would make much of a difference.

    • @marxpeklegotechnicdesign3
      @marxpeklegotechnicdesign3  4 года назад +2

      Thanks. However.. the monster motor is a bit faster? but the torque and the protection is much worse. And indeed as long as you keep the tachometer still it should not make any difference in measurement. Off camera i used 3 different tachometer and results where all the same five or take 20-40 rpm

    • @marxpeklegotechnicdesign3
      @marxpeklegotechnicdesign3  4 года назад +1

      Now that i look at the video again... in the cars they are faster. But measured they are slower, i also noticed i kept the tachometer against the other spinning port, might have affected the speed there.. anyway.. get real ones or wait for buwizz to release theirs

    Surprisingly in-depth review. Also, I wasn't aware of this Monster Motor, Thanks!
    Seems like a viable alternative, given that the original 5292 now costs around € 70, used. Also a good thing that there are clear visual differences, so people will know which one they are buying. Still, I wish that TLG would start making the originals again, or something even more brutal (evil laugh)!

    • @marxpeklegotechnicdesign3
      @marxpeklegotechnicdesign3  5 лет назад +3

      I consider the monster motor useable but nowhere near the power of the real deal. If used in lightweight cars it can do well, but once you really need the torque it will fail compared to real Lego. I doubt Lego will ever make fast powerfull motors again, kids do not like their hairs getting eaten.. but i do hope they will make something, just like you..

For me: i pick quality over quantity any day for everything in life, but in this case, I want the best possible motor in my mocs, saying that; the original isnt the best option anymore, the buwizz motor is and that comes in at 30€.

Fact remains that the lego version even after almost 20 years of use is a better quality motor, i'd be surprised if any mouldking motor would still function after those 20 years, same for the buwizz version. You mention 70-80 for a real motor but i have 22 and i have never payed more than 30euro for any of them in the past 7 years, some came even cheaper as the mouldking price from ebay. But for me its not about the price, its about performance, in low torque applications they can function fine, but for performance you need a real one or even better a buwizz one. Even if they are 6x more expensive, you can still only fit the amount needed, so you loose power. So atm i only get BuWizz motors, those are the best option now.
