LEGO RC vs "real" RC (Traxxas, WPL, etc) - first round 

Can you make a separate vid of the lego bronco?

Right now the best option to make a full Proportional Control vehicle for LEGO is the Mould King 6 Channels Powered Module 6.0. It offers 6 separate chanels with Proportional Control, 50m Range with a real 2.4GHz Radio Transmitter, a lot of Power from an integrated 2S LiPo Battery and it Includes a Proportional Control Transmitter and a Fully customizable Bluetooth Mobile App. And it's the cheapest option by far! (Compared to BuWizz and LEGO). That's why it is my choice in all my projects.

Incredible job on this video! I can’t even imagine how long it took to make all those alternate builds and test all everything. Great dedication for a video that’s not even mainstream. It’s why you’re the best LEGO reviewer out there.

I really wish Lego could reintroduce Power Function instead of everything using apps and a smartphone screen. To me, having a physical controller with transmitter/receiver just make it simple, fun, and customizable. Like why people prefer electromechanical machines like a Jukebox over chip controlled electronics.

This was a very fair and detailed review of the two worlds. I have almost every Lego RC set that you've showed, and I also have "real" RC cars like the one you showed (and spent close to $1000 on them). I agree there is no clear overall winner to "which is best", but clearly in specific categories there are winners. I love my "real" RC car outdoor on rocky trails, and I love my Lego RC cars indoors and customizable. I'm looking forward to the next parts in your series!

It's funny to see how a small R/C bronco can do what the real thing can't.

I remember when I was a kid I wanted to build someday my own RC car. Maybe I should give it shot with LEGO!

Love my RC cars but I'm more of a nitro guy but electric OK but I like the sound also enjoy building and flying drones.

Tamya is a very good brand for model kits that are non rc but can be rc if you have the courrage

I also have a RC ford bronco but it is a different Brand. A Japanese brand

R/C cars + 3d printer... this is where the fun starts. I also have similar situation as RacingBrick: Legos + Traxxas R/C. I started with Legos, but while I do enjoy the building of the sets, I have a lot more fun with playing with the R/C models. Durability, power, range, speed. And a ton of customizability, if you are into electronics and have access to 3d printer.

If you're looking for possibly cheaper, yet still very popular sets over Traxxas; HPI Racing is based out of the UK (TIL as well) and you might have some good success with purchasing there. Their best models are any of the Savages, Baja 5B (If you can support it), and their on-road drift vehicles. Plenty of after-market support, and can last for a while.

I also recently got into RC after being obsessed with Lego for a while: I can confidently say that Lego Technic thought me all the concepts and principles that I would need with my crawlers much better than my crawlers did. And indeed, Lego is infinitely more versatile and rewarding.

I have a lot of lego mocs and Just bought a traxxas rustler 4x4 vxl, i like it both and think the point with lego is that if you dont like a model annymore you can Just download instructions for a moc and build something else

Pretty good comparison. You mentioned all facts for making a decision what to buy. As a fan of aircrafts, there is only the rc models. Take for e.g. the Corsair fu4. To see it fly is so much more exciting.

Perfect. My two favourite hobbies in one video. That trx4 is a beast

Anybody notice the arm of the crane matched his microphone arm???

I started years ago with lego technik here and there and then lost Controll to rc kits from Tamiya and Kyosho. I love to build and drive them, especially the vintage/retro modells.

This is a great and really awesome video -Cant imagine the effort you took to get it made ! As a long time RC builder and more recent Lego collector /builder - I fully agree and appreciate all your insightful comments. For me, one clear differentiator is that whilst both are great hobbies for building /tinkering indoor - great RC stuff (speed, thrills, bashing) really needs to be outdoors, whereas you can really enjoy the (slower, more fragile) Lego stuff indoors. Anyways, without a doubt - you are one of the best (if not the) best RU-vidrs reviewers on Lego/Technic ! Keep it up !

Also for LEGO there are many enthusiasts, who made more powerful and compatible electronics (like Geek Servo or Godzimotor) and custom parts (like planetary gearbox, links, etc). It brings much more fun and build experience. Have you had experience using something like that?

Great video! I'm a huge Lego fan, and have always lusted after "proper" remote control cars, so this was an excellent introduction to that world for me. One thing you missed though, and my only remote control car, is the Lego Racers line, and in my case the Outdoor Challenger. It has a very tenuous grasp on the world as far as being Lego goes, but it's great fun as a remote control car. Unfortunately not being really in that ecosystem means parts etc. aren't really a thing, and I did have to get creating and cut an old allen key down to stop one of the wheels coming off.

This concept is perfect! It iş definetely a clever and valueable additionto channel

Great video as always! Neat to see both sides. Could you make a separate video of the jeep bruiser please?🙏

I've gotten good enough at controlling my X Maxx that I can run it indoors.🤗

Well i hope LEGO will release the Lykan from Fast & Furious

"if you are black belt lego fan" all black belts coming together

If you build LEGO RC to play with the end result (finished model) you are thinking about it wrong. The fun with LEGO is the journey. A hobby RC will always be a better vehicle to play with.

OK, convinced (again), I stick with Lego. Liked the different MOCs of the Defender you showed. I must try the combi MOC Zetros+Defender.

As someone into RC who loves Lego, I can confirm everything in the video. I got a second-hand chinese Hosim basher for 50€ and it can do far more than a 500€ Lego RC car build any day. Whenever I want, I just plug in the battery, and enjoy. HOWEVER: I keep coming back to Lego for its unlimited versatility. It's just so cool to build things from the ground up! Recently I took it to the next level, making use of Arduino to build my own remote control system. Difficult but the payoff is worth it as you get performance for cheap, easy maintenance, repairability and full customization. I just love those Lego and RC cars but comparing them even though they're all cars is like comparing apples and oranges

Gimme all the 3D and RC content you can get!

lego for creativity, rc crawlers for action

Ive been trying to mix tamiya with lego for a couple of years now, i want to make a custom rc drift car i can mix n match pieces. Like different hood skirts bumper etc. I believe i have to buy rc motor rather than lego (as you said expensive so money has been a problem)

I bought xinlehong 9115 for outdoors playing, awesome car, simmilar to that buggy ;)

Awesome info as usual. You asked for ideas so... I'd find a 'Lego RC MOC shootout' video interesting. A test of the best MOC in a category (eg rock crawler, 6x6, etc)

I love Lego and RCs. I like this crossover, and not too long from now I'm probably going to test my RCs capabilities against my Zetros... Awesome video!

So you're telling me that I CAN connect BUWIZZ 3.0 to the BRICK CONTROLLER 2 APP

Your channel is my comfort food equivalent. None bullshit, only a cool dude talking calmly about lego

Thanks! Very interesting!

One thing to bear in mind is that many RC cars can be bought without the electronics/motors/batteries/etc so if you have your own, or want to use better ones, you can buy the model without electronics at half the price. Lego does not offer this. Another thing to consider is the more realistic scale RC models you can buy. You can buy fully hydraulic mechanical wonders, but they cost upwards of 3,000 dollars, some upwards of 10,000 dollars. Lego technic sometimes (though rarely) offer sets that can rival even these in terms of mechanical wonderousness and can get very close in terms of realism for a few hundred bucks. That's where technic seems to be at it's best.

The scx6 is 1/6 scale rc car

I just bought some lego sets. For motorizing stuff, what would you guys recommend? And for good RC functions (e.g. with smartphone)?

Petition to get him to get an Arrma Infraction

thx for the video

What custom vehicle is that ? @5:46

Or combine both, rc all in one are great for lego.

LEGO rc cars have no start to Traxxas or Tamiya, be it efficiency and fun factor.

Sei R

Bro always Lego 🦵💪 beautiful blox like roblox and Minecraft and tecnology

Thanks!!

awesome !!

0:18 o:

I used to live in the same neighborhood as the owner of Traxxas.

I'd put it this way; non-RC - LEGO, RC - Traxxas, Tamiya, HPI etc.

Nice

First
