shame, i prefer normal remote (small) - so back to mouldking with their cheap remote/receiver (incl. battery) I guess.. if something like this was ever produced anywhere in better quality (and more volt power) I'd be so happy

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" :-)

Trying to revive this thread, let's see if it works :-) I found that guy to have combined Lego with real (radio) rc: Some cheap remote + receiver from a toy seemed to have done the trick. Only downside is, it only has 3V or something (hence he had to solder additional motor controllers in place). Now if somewhere we found a cheap kids toy, that came with a set of remote+receiver+9V battery, which could be taken out (and combined with Lego Motors), that would be perfect, no? Perhaps somebody has a tipp, on what to use and what potential pitfalls might still be in place?

I've only managed it once to achieve proportional/stepped steering (with a MK receiver and a lego servo iirc). MK servo did not work (or worked only full left/full right - you know what I mean).

9.6 yes (so fully charged >10) I think proper haptic feedback from analog remote is worth sacrificing 1-2V :-) Plus it's (a lot!) cheaper..

yes that one (tried but the shoulder buttons only have their short function it seems, nothing permanent). seems weird that the supposedly newer remote (with analog stick, rather than on/off full throttle buttons) lost this trick? :-(

where did you buy them? I always found it a bit intransparent which exact version of the MK 4 port set you got (there are different boxes, some can prop. steerings with certain servos, others can't.. and there are multiple different remotes also).. quite a jungle :-) I bought this one: https://joooooy.com/collections/pf-parts/products/mould-king-m-0019-6-0-module and this one https://joooooy.com/collections/pf-parts/products/mouldking-4-chanels-stepless-speed-regulator-rc-bat-4-0

I never touched the MK app (since I really only bought it for the hardware remote), do I need it for the "2 outputs on 1 input (and change direction)" trick you think? In your video with the 4port box you have a different remote also compared to mine, I could never recreate it with mine (which is grey and bigger, not white like yours).

Do you know if that also works with the 6 channel MK receiver? (i've decided to use my 6 port receiver now with my fastest models, as I connected that one to a 9.6v battery - more power but again this "bottleneck" of having 2 motors - exchanged the cheap buggie motors for buwizz now - on one channel)

definitely correct - better range than any other stuff (incl. buwizz)! I really love that mouldking set, got 3 already (1 modified with higher voltage, 1 taken apart to make it small enough to hide it in lego catamaran hull). So cheap - buy it :-D

yes.. 2 obvious advantages: - haptic feedback (you know without looking at your fingers, where you steer your vehicles - touchscreen is shit and unprecise at best). - simpler to set up for kids (1 button to press on remote and batterypack and they automatically connect.. not giving them your phone to play, set up 2x bluetooth etc, have some issue 50% of time) as discussed 100 times.. mouldking has a battery+remote set, that does exactly that (2 actually, one with 4 ports and one with 6 ports) & works like a charm (only downside is the cheap-looking, ugly design and the low voltage, compared to buwizz). if ever something similar is sold from buwizz, I'd buy it immediately (even with their history of selling buggy things with FW issue). PS: connecting the cheap mouldking to a higher voltage battery worked for me (was discussed somewhere here in that forum already)
