Regarding axle hole, It's a feature, not a bug! I've designed the axle in same way as a train motor, so it acts like a safety clutch. So if you try to force spin the motor, it protects the internals from overloading and breaking. The small sacrifice of loosing clutch power and accuracy is worth protecting the internal gearing mechanism in my opinion. Good to know! Quote

I guess that keeping that alive uses >0 amps, such that over a long time it would pull the battery below where a cell can be revived. @Zerobricks could you tell us more about the new disconnect feature mentioned in the app update? The lack of a failsafe in case of disconnects is what caused me and @aFrInaTi0n to set our RC motorcycle projects aside for ages. You can probably imagine what happens if a 25km/h motorcycle gets out of range and, as the previous software, just continues on full throttle. So it would be good for testing purposes, to know what we can expect it to do now. I assume if ping without pong, then stop all motors? Thet refers to recentering the servo once reconnected. Quote

I thought about this too but on all BW3 devices I have this function disabled so I presume it shouldn't be the cause of the issue ... or can I be wrong here? Quote

It's so tempting, but a big part of my fun in MOCing comes from using stud.io and eventually uploading instructions. The brushless world wouldn't offer that. Also I feel like the setup costs could be quite a lot? I don't have any part of what's needed nor the knowledge. So battery, charger, transmitter, receiver, speed control, geek servo, etc. Eh, maybe one day. Maybe. Quote

We're off topic now, but I'll say this much: I think I got my brushless setup for around the same price as a buwizz 3 unit, give or take a bit. Quote
aFrInaTi0n Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Just a little FYI for MOC Creators: @Philo updated the parts pack for his Buwizz models not have those sticking out boxes anymore showing in the latest Studio versions. The parts-pack has been updated and needs to be re-downloaded and put into the CustomPArts folder again. Big thanks to again Philo! :) Quote
msk6003 Posted April 23 Posted April 23 Seems like one of my BW3 is drained to much. It doesn't charge even I pluged on mobile phone charger least 4~6 hours. Is there is any possible way to revive it? Quote
NV Lego technic Posted April 23 Posted April 23 Maybe get a replacement battery if nothing else works. Quote

Is there is any possible way to revive it? I've not done it for BW, but when my cordless drill battery dipped too low, I connected it to a bench power source for a minute to get it above the threshold. After this, the battery would charge normally. If it's gone through too many charge/drain cycles it may be easier just to replace it. I buy the BW batteries a few at a time so I have a few spares on hand. They're cheap enough. Quote
