I understand your frustration, but you can't pay your bills only by building of MOCs. I am 52 years old and have been collecting LEGO since I was about 8 years old. I have hundreds of LEGO sets, which are more of a source of pieces for my own builds. Unfortunately, the official LEGO Technic sets no longer appeal to me, the last set was #42177 Mercedes-Benz G 500, which I bought twice. From the second set, I built a great B-model #42177 Hummer H1 created by erictrax. I've bought alos a lot of sets from "fake" LEGO copycats on AliExpress in recent years, just because there are beautiful B-models that I wanted to display - #42172 P1 alternate build of Corvette ZR1 2025 by timtimgo or #42115 Sian alternate build of Lamborghini Miura Concept by timtimgo. I have no problem buying instructions for building something that interests me. I spend $100-150 per year on these building instructions. But I choose only models that interest me, I don't care whether it's LEGO, CaDA or Mouldking. Because I love truck cranes, I got myself a Mould King MK 17007 Ultimate Liebherr LTM 11200 for last Christmas for over $550. I can't imagine how much this set with 20 motors, 3 Blutooth hubs, and 8200+ parts would cost from LEGO. I spend 2000-2500 USD a year just on these sets and I also buy parts for my builds, partly LEGO parts on BrickLink and now mostly non-original parts on Wobrick because of the costs spend - at least 1000 USD a year just on parts. Building is a very expensive hobby, so I make a "Budget" for building every year, but I still exceed it every year... :-) I also have a "work-in-progress" shelf where my own MOCs are, some already dusty :-) others in a state where I work on them in my free time. Since LEGO brick building is the biggest of my hobbies - I have my own room for building, designed just for building... (Well, in the past it was my son's room, but he is already living his own life as a father of a small child, so I found a "meaningful" use for his room) As many others here advise, don't try to make money by building MOC. Just create what you want and share it in our community. Whether you decide to create instructions for your MOCs is up to you, I don't have time for that, so I'm just making a photo slide show for myself on my mobile phone of the construction process of my MOCs. I'll take all my MOCs apart later on anyway and use their parts for another projects. So I have just a few photos to remind me of what I built in last years. Maybe the solution for you is to offer your projects to one of the "alternative" manufacturers. It is not a problem for them to produce parts in other colors or to create a completely specific parts - for example a great wheel hub with wheel lock and nice designed brake calipers from CaDa. The decision is up to you.

Yesterday I bought new CaDa 1:8 YangWang U9 Supercar (C64011W) with "an early bird" discount 5% at $ 294,50. Package should arrive to Czech republic within 2 weeks. Once arrived, I will post photos from unboxing, content of box and also 3 special new parts - new shock absorbers + new brake discs with integrated callipers and new rims. I hope I will be able to "disassemble" the manual and scan the individual steps into *.pdf. Unfortunately, CaDa no longer allows manuals to be downloaded, so this is the only solution to make the manual available to the community.

Exactly, I don`t care about individual controller, but if BC2 can integrate also MouldKing BT battery (or another chinesse brand BT battery) it allows you to combine all of your "power sources" into one MOC. It will be great. My old 4 Buwizz costs me about 400,- EUR, One MouldKing BT 6 battery costs about 30,- EUR (already with physicall controller). Of course, stability of Buwizz is better than MouldKing but you can design functions based on this. Means steering and propulsion of MOC to be connected via Buwizz, 2 other ports of Buwizz can control important functions, Mouldking battery can control other functions where precise control is not required - outriggers, lifting of 3rd axle etc.

MouldKing has two posibilities to play with your own MOC - with physical controller or MK has also their own software app. This app allows you to control up to three PoweredModule 6 in one MOC by the app. You should only i 1st step choose which system you wanna control. I want to combine MouldKing BT battery with my Buwizz battery or with Lego remote system. I have also CaDa battery, but it is not BT battery but radio controlled battery with specific controller.

Istvan, do you plan to add support also for chinese Bluetooth batteries? I am using BC2 with my 4 units of Buwizz 2.0 and 2 TLG Powered-Up hub and it works perfectly, but I need to connect also my new chinese BT battery = Mould King 6.0 powered module (https://mouldking.store/shop/mould-king-m-0019-powered-module-6-channels/). It has 6 ports for PF motors and it will be usefull for me to be able to control 12 engines just with 2 BT batteries instead of 3 Buwizz.

They are already available on AliExpress, i just bought 4 pieces of CaDa micromotors ... (and 3 pieces of new CaDa LED lighting cables) link to AzoomStore https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002790547198.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.7a794c4d6Ey06o So I am just waiting for delivery. I wanna use them in my WIP Wrecking truck for moving fake truck engine and wanna test them to power linear actuators of outriggers Prices are good - C61019 Mini motor € 7,53 (free shipping and VAT inclusive) + C61019 Light € 7,01 (free shipping and VAT inclusive)

Really great works. Congrats

I want to present my last creation - actual progress of my BigTruck. I wanna build realy big truck - width 32 studs seems to be big enough... I was partly inspired by great Peterbilt created by Sheepo and also 42070 new Technic set. I want to build 4x6 truck only but finally I build 4x6 with switch to 6x6. Instead of PF was BuWizz used. Actual functions - drive powered by 4x XL motor and steering via Servo. Switch between 4x6 and 6x6 mode via small pneumatic cylinder. More photos on BrickLink I will be out of home for 3 weeks so I hope I wil be able to finish my truck in September

I want to present my version - due lack of available parts I made it completely in yellow. As a small joke I replaced small Teddy Bear by Lotso which is much more bigger :-) photos in higher resolution
