Amazing project, well done! Would your receiver work with any remote control that does not look like a pistol? I am looking for something small and easy for the kids. Thanks!

exactly.. cheap and for kids (with a remote that they can hold, not some monstrosilty with a screen built in ;-))

Great product, when can I order it? :-) Just one question, can I pair it with a "non pistol" remote? Also, could you please provide a link to order suitable battery+charger please. Thanks!

Nope, waiting for the video they promised to explain how it should work. If it takes a mobile phone to set up it's worthless anyway, only thing I'd use for my kids is direct remote/battery-receiver combo like mouldking (but ideally with the performance of a buwizz). How neither lego nor buwizz are selling such a combo is beyond me :-(

Brief moment of hope and then.. meh (I have different BT controllers but no PS4/5, XBOX). Buwizz why you do this to me..

edit: moved it to other thread

I'd prefer a normal remote with two sticks :-)

Thanks I had overlooked that. Unfortunately it's one of those ugly pistol shaped monstrosities (which I understand is widespread in RC but I just find them hideous and impractical for my little kids).. :-(

They mention remote and battery though: Super Power Functions Kit includes: PDF Instruction and On-line guide Modified building block bag Metal shaft Aluminum alloy universal joint Bearing drive axle RC metal differential 400W brushless motor Brushless ESC High-speed steering gear 2200mAh 3s lithium battery Lithium battery charger Battery voltage display Remote control Receiver Small drill bit (for drilling the wheel and fixing the drive axle)

So this is finally what I've always wanted (an idiotproof plug and play RC set with remote, ESC, battery, motor, servo that somehow fits to Lego parts)? One negative review (about the diff quality if I read that correctly), otherwise people seem to be happy with it? Anybody got pictures of the remote? In all their (weird) videos I never saw it.. I'd be tempted, if it wasn't so expensive (200€ for few China pieces)?

Couldn't agree more! That's why I gave up on my Buwizz (not after sinking hundreds of € sadly) altogether.. out of the box (with real remote - like cheap Mould King) is what kids need (and also what most of adults need I am sure). If you want to spend all that time programming overly complex buwizz (and steer with touchscreen which still sucks) then honestly you might aswell solder together a real radio remote with electronics, separate battery, steering chip etc and get something much more powerful and versatile (worth your time spent).

YES!! But i suppose thats your own DIY? Could you explain to me idiot-proof where to buy what (and where to get a remote for that that looks like a classic remote, not those huge thingies with a wheel and a pistol-trigger) please :-)

I had thought radio was better range, less latency. And (what I know from my gopro remote), bluetooth doesn't work underwater. I had thought radio would (but as discussed above, that seems to be a frequency-related science on its own).

I've tested both yes. Cada is useless with "all or nothing" remote. MK is my best option at the moment, but has less power compared to Buwizz and very limited options (e.g. not possible with 6 port receiver to steer two outputs with one remote lever - we discussed that in another thread here). And I thought MK was bluetooth? Is it 2,4ghz radio? PS: Just found another DIY, discussed even here in this forum. Amazing, but again, I can't replicate that.. neither the skills nor the time :-(

Indeed 2,4Ghz is good but Aliexpress device is not really my dream thing because it would throw me back to batteryboxes and receiver (old optic and more space needed compared to minimalistic buwizz, with more power/volt). And don't forget with the old PF/Aliexpress design you only get the "all or nothing" remote (or the weird one for trains). Haptic feedback yes, but far from ideal. About the other fun discussion you guys started :-) I have no idea what frequency this rather cheap toy submarine is using (and I am not even that much interested to go underwater) - I am just dreaming of some radio remote/receiver/battery combo where I just connect my lego motors, no extra work needed. Obviously people have thought about this, but all the ideas I found were DIY circuits, where I lack programming and soldering skills to. E.g. https://www.eetimes.com/diy-lego-upgrade-to-2-4-ghz/ I really need something "idiot-proof" :-)
