Video is very comprehensive and easy to understand. My complaint is to lego that sells this setup at a ridiculous price. Again, nice video! Some might be fooled at first by the rotation speed of the motor, since it overlapses with the refresh rate of the camera, but it spins really fast. The problem with this small motors is that is has low torque, but that's why they're the smallest. By the way, I remember a situation from Seinfeld, where Elaine goes to cinema and wants to buy a small bag of popcorn and the seller says they don't have "small", they have medium, which is small and big, which is medium. And Elaine asks: "what's big then?" and the seller replies "jumbo!" Similar thing here at lego with M, L and XL motors.

Thanks for this. I've been thinking about incorporating the power functions into a MOC I'm working on, and this has really helped me see how it would work.

Great demo of the power function set!

I just bought this and am waiting for it to arrive thanks for demonstrating some ideas!

Nathan, thanks for this demonstration! awesome, I learned more about how to use them, and mount them! I do lots of set reviews and builds on my channel but I've never done anything with Lego batteries! you did a great job with this! you have knowledge others would appreciate, I'll do a shout out for your channel in the near future so others can enjoy your knowledge! keep creating and sharing!

I don’t know what is the problem about all those who are complaining but if you have never used a power functions component before like me, this video is brilliant. I really learnt much of what I was wondering all before. Thanks man for your effort. You did good about explaining the basics. Keep up the good work.

Go to a website called Bricklink. There, go to 'parts' and you'll see a large list of categories. There are several different Lego Technic categories to the far right side. There, find a part you need, click on it and you'll see a list of different sellers from around the world selling them. There's a filter so if you're from UK you can select only sellers from UK. Once you find the seller you want, go to his store and browse through his technic parts category and add anything you want to your shopping cart. You can do the same with different stores if one in particular didn't have everything you were looking for. Bricklink is a little difficult to learn how to use, but once you do, it's the best and cheapest way to buy specific Lego parts! If you have any questions feel free to ask!

A big truck passing by 🤔 you could just say it’s your PS4 lol

IDk if you knew this, but for a cool trick: Make a crank and stick it in the m motor's output Attach the plug from the m motor to the lights Turn the crank like crazy! A motor is basically a reverse generator, making the lights light up when you turn the output

I would get this if it wasn't so ridiculously expensive

Hello! It depends on what he wants to do with it. He can use it and create a bunch of stuff without a remote, however if he wants a remote can also be used. In order to use it you'd need to get the remote, and the infrared receiver. The receiver is selling at $14.99 and the remote itself at $9.49. The remote would let him do the exact same things in the video just from a distance. Here's a link to all the Power Function parts available www.lego.com/en-us/search?q=Power%20functions Hope I helped!

Hey basically the servo motor turned in intervals like a clock which allowed you to do more precise movements such as steering the wheels of a car. The problem is Lego stopped making Power Functions and the only way to find them is on the second hand market. The good news is that with their new motors (Powered Up) you can control them from a smart device and they can actually be used as normal motors AND servo motors which makes them way more versatile. In my recent Technic Buggy review I show a set using the new motor system if you'd like to check it out! Also I plan on making a video soon on the new motor system and how to use them to replace Power Functions as well as how to use them as servo motors :)

Hello! Are you familiar with Bricklink? If not, Bricklink is like a Lego eBay. You can order any parts from there and they have a pretty big catalog of parts. I'm gonna give you links to the main parts you need. You could see the part names and try finding them somewhere else, or you can try buying it from a bricklink seller and check all his part listings to see if he has any of the other parts you need! For the turn table: www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=61485&idColor=86#T=C&C=86 www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=60474&idColor=55#T=S&C=86&O={%22color%22:86,%22iconly%22:0} www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6585&idColor=11#T=C&C=11 For the worm box: www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4716#T=C That's the spiral ^. As for the gears, this link has a bunch of gear sizes, and it really depends on which speed you want. The larger the gear the slower it'll go www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&catString=136&itemBrand=1000&catType=P As for the rest of the parts you need, just use any bricks with technic holes in them, and regular axels! I hope I helped some! Just in case here's a link to an eBay listing with many random gears and technic parts you could find useful. Searching 'Lego techic lot' on eBay can help you find what you need also. www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-Bulk-lot-TECHNIC-MINDSTORM-PARTS-1lb-pound-Beams-Gear-Axle-READ-DESCRIPTION/401888960611?hash=item5d9272e063%3Ag%3A42QAAOSwJV9dgYCa&LH_BIN=1

The battery box has a built-in switch already meaning you can plug the motor directly to the battery box. The switch let's you turn on the battery box that powers (for example, a set of lights) but doesn't instantly turn on whatever is hooked up to the switch until you turn it on
