    The main issue with Lego RC for myself has been the lag associated with Bluetooth, or horrible touch controls. I've been experimenting with using RC components to drive Lego RC vehicles to have a better experience

    The RC vs lego series is very helpful because I am currently facing a similar choice. I have an Audi (my first RC technic set) but the performance on Lego electronics is terrible. For the price of the BUWIZZ set, you can buy, for example, TX4M, which will be both faster and more efficient off-road. But I love the modifiability of Lego bricks, the ability to rebuild the model and test new technical solutions (gearboxes, differential locks, etc.), I think that building gives me more fun than playing, so I lean towards BUWIZZ.

    The slash shown in the comparisson is the slowest variant available... the brushless version with 4x4 drive is able to go 50+ mph. Also, the batery life on these allow to drive for very long time if you are gentle with the trottle. 1,5h+ was my record with the rustler (same chassis as slash).

    We have to make do with what we have and find the positives in good handling and interesting features:
    ruclips.net/video/Zi_6nXqfC8M/видео.html
    The main issues with LEGO motorization are as follows:
    1. Excessive weight of components that do not serve a functional purpose beyond aesthetics.
    2. Large size of complex mechanisms, contributing to increased weight.
    3. Significant play or slack in various components, making it challenging to drive straight at speeds exceeding 10-12 km/h without intricate chassis tuning.
    4. The challenges of controlling high-speed models due to the lack of suitable applications, limited development, and support.
    5. The absence of high-torque motors capable of delivering power at low RPM (less than full throttle). The BuWizz motor is good but only when running at maximum speed.
    6. Significant issues with friction at high RPMs, causing rapid wear and tear of components such as hubs when exposed to dust and dirt.
    7. ... I could go on endlessly about what LEGO lacks, yet I continue to love it. 😊

  • @BricksCub3d
    @BricksCub3d 3 месяца назад +1

    I bet if you actually mounted one of these rc motors with recievers (and servos and custom calibration and code for remote control) to a lego car, AND optimized it as well as the rc cars are (simple drivetrain, carbon fiber/stronger axles and gears, lubrication, actual testing and using engineering for maximum performance) teh results could be pretty similar. Albeit, lego eould weigh more and maybe be slightly less effectient, but it'd still be pretty close. We just dont have the same level of power in lego motors that ec cars with 3s lipos and brushless motors have. Give lego that and there is the con of lego weighs more and is maybe less durable than an rc with an aluminum frame (Which prob costs more but a plastic rc frame would cost less but be the same durability). But at the same time, it is a pro because you can build the car from the ground up as opposed to the RCs prepackaged possibilities.

    • @SimplyLegoTechnic
      @SimplyLegoTechnic Год назад +2

      The biggest issue, in my opinion, is with the new wheel hubs from set 42160. They lack lubrication, and dust easily gets inside through the gaps, which is almost impossible to wash out. After the very first ride outdoors on gravel and dusty roads, the wheel hubs started rotating significantly worse((( That's why I prefer going out after rain when the dust is settled on the ground.@@RacingBrick
