In this episode of the Lego RC basics tutorial series we are focusing on the different controllers available for Power Functions and Powered Up. The following control solutions are presented:
– Power Functions Infrared receivers/remotes
– SBrick
– BuWizz
– CaDa 2.4GHz battery & remote
– Boost
– Powered Up
UPDATE #4 – Here is my full review with unboxing, build details, feature presentation and an outdoor field test in a quarry!
UPDATE #3 – According to zusammengebaut.com LEGO Germany confirmed that the release of the set will be delayed until October 2019 because of some production problems of certain parts. This delay does not affect the other Technic sets scheduled for August.
UPDATE #2 – Check out my detailed summary about the Powered Up system and the currently available components that will power this set as well
UPDATE – We received a some detailed images of this gigantic construction set from the Bauma 2019 convention that happened last week (image source – Promobricks)
Update – I created a page dedicated to Powered Up where you can see all the information I collected in one place – click here.
Last year we saw the first sets appearing with the new Powered Up components expected to replace Power Functions, we have Boost as well belonging to the same ecosystem. As you’ll be able to buy most of these components separately at shop.lego.com soon I took a look what we have at the moment, how they work with each other, are there any alternatives to have a wider range of control options (sure!) and what I am expecting to see in the future. Let’s check the video:

Speed build and review about the B model of the LEGO Technic 42092 set, the Concept Plane. This model looks very promising especially considering the limited part selection, check out all the details in the video:
Speed build and review about the B model of the LEGO Technic 42094 set, the Tracked Dumper.
Speed build and review of the LEGO Technic 42095 B model. This version has a much better weight balance, but it does not use the full potential of the L motors as they are driving the smaller front wheels by default. Can it be easily improved? Sure, check the video!
Unboxing, Speed build and review about the LEGO Technic 42092 Rescue Helicopter. It has some cool features and functions including spinning rotors, opening side and rear doors, working winch and a rescue stretcher. Check out all the details in the video!
