Dylan M Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I got mine as well(7pcs) looks good in buwizz, and I followed video instructions of Dessert Eagle on how to remove the "load monitor"...??? ?? Quote
BusterHaus Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 @Dylan M Do you have a link to the instructions video? My Google game is weak this morning. Quote
sirslayer Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Cool !! I love those china's buggy motors!!! I got myself 4 of them for only $60 USD .. and the performance is good enough where you can use your Lego battery box!!! Check out how fast my mini truck with live axle suspension and the China's Monster motor!! Edited February 15, 2020 by sirslayer Quote

I used to think that the buggy motor (or the clone monster motor) would need a driver with higher current capacity. It will be great if the monster motor works like this with regular Lego PF. Quote
sirslayer Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 @iLego The receiver is from China and its a clone of the IR ver1 by Lego and the clone ($10 USD with joystick) sports a wifi 2.4ghz with long range and the power is almost the equivalent to ver2 IR from Lego or maybe even better is the AA battery box is from Lego with a mix of rechargeable (on your own risk) Nizn 1.8 volts AA batteries that punch fast and 1.5 volts Lithium AA batteries for endurance. The 1.8 volts x 6 = 10.8volts is close to buwizz 11.1 volts so you'll get awesome performance... Quote

I have 2 of the 2.4 ghz & they dont seem to work with the Lego controller. But I haven't tried very hard though Quote

Expand I tested it with lego original batery box + ir receiver v1 and with buwizz. with buwizz on ludacrious the protection will kick in sometimes Quote
sirslayer Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 @Tazmancrash When you buy the receiver , you have to buy the joystick that comes with it. The issue is there are a few China businesses that use their own 2.4ghz protocol and its not compatable to Lego's or even Lepin own 2.4ghz protocol. So its best when you purchase a receiver and purchase the joystick at the same time or you will run into problems.. The Lego battery AA case always worked on any China's motors and even Cada (china) latest offerings are for Cada receivers and controllers only for one example so just stay away from them!! .. I haven't tested a Lego IR ver1 receiver with the monster motor but the monster motor do run very good if you just hooked up to the Lego battery case only.. I would recommend a good AA batteries like I have mentioned before to get Buwizz like performance at half the cost !!! Quote

(on normal mode) My buwizz keeps disconecting instantly if i try to go from forward to backwards w/o waiting for the car to stop... The buggy motors seems to be power hungry as the originals... I will try to add a video when i get the time. Expand Did you use Chinese motors in this car? The problem with these motors is that the wiring is fixed, not like the original from Lego, with the connector (motor polarity changed if you change the orientation of the motor) . If you want to use them side by side in the rear wheels of a car you are in troubles with the simetry, because one motor will rotate in opposite direction than the other. It is imposible to mount them in a common rail setup with side by side simetry. I have in mind only one option, rewire and soldering some motors for common rail setup. Am I wrong? Thank you Quote
Jantayg Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 You can change the direction in the buwizz app for each output. You donnot need to change the orientation of the connector. Quote

Did your friend use a buwizz or similar device to change rotation in one motor? Because it's the only way without modifying the hardware. Thank you Edited March 15, 2021 by aelorenzo Quote
Clawp Posted March 15, 2021 Author Posted March 15, 2021 Each motor was on its own buwizz port and the polarity was set from the in-app. Stacking them and going on ludicrous full speed with kick the protection of the buwizz ^_^ too much power drain at once. Quote
