The new motor is based on an exisiting RC buggy design and the electirc motor has been optimized to give a higher RPM and torque than the original. The first test run of motors will be available soon. Expand Can you give any more info? Like how much faster it is, when will it be available, what price,...? Will you be making a more powerfull version of any other motors, like the L-motor? Quote

Price should be around 39€ and first 50 or so samples hould be available soon. No plans for other motors for now. Edited June 5, 2020 by Zerobricks Quote
johnnym Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 @Zerobricks: Sometime ago I asked about power curves in the BuWizz app. My question was if it'd be possilble to copy them from one output to another output - e.g. when you have two motors driving the same axle but on different outputs - but that is not supported right now. What do you think about saving a current power curve as preset and allow to either select a preset (e.g. the default linear one) or to take the default preset as basis and change it for each output? That would basically provide the asked feature and power curves are already saved in (or with) and tied to a profile right now. Quote

Having said that we are currently focusing on expanding the basic functionality of the app. After we implement all the functions we will go back and concentrate on details as such and visuals. Quote

parngon Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Hello expert, just checking if anyone is able to connect to the original BuWizz (from the first kickstarter) with the newer mobile app? I read comments on the BuWizz website that it won't be supported but just want to make sure if I am going to switch camp Quote
Mantarri Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Just wondering if there will be a summer sale on the BuWizz like last year? Quote

What is also true is that i changed the gearing from 20:28 in original to 12:36 to give the car more torque. I tried to keep the original model's functionality as close as possible, so the motor has to drive the wheels throught a set of 6 gears. Of course I could have just slapped 2 motors, directly to the wheels, but than the modification would be much harder for people to perform and we would lose the wheelie bar, working engine, etc... Expand Also, given the hills the car is climbing in the video, it probably has more torque than is necessary for driving on flat ground. Quote
Sven J Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 Hi there, Does anybody know if there's a possibility to change the order in which custom profiles are displayed in the app? Thanks in advance! Sven Quote

Toshi Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 Ah, thank you! I do not use Facebook, so I did not check there... :( Quote
Mantarri Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 I don't really use Facebook either, I've just been checking BuWizz's page, as I've been waiting for a sale to buy some BuWizz, the currency exchange to Canadian Dollars is not very good, so even 15% off is a large difference, I can spend that saved money on more LEGO!
