LEGO 10277 Crocodile Locomotive Power Functions & BuWizz upgrade
Ғылым және технология
The LEGO 10277 Crocodile Locomotive has official motorization instuctions with Powered Up components. As many of us still have mostly Power Functions parts, I tested the locomotive with the following components:
- Power Functions AAA Battery Box (88000) or Rechargeable Battery Box (8878)
- Power Functions IR reciever (8884)
- Power Functions IR remote (8885) or IR Speed remote (8879)
- Power Functions Medium Motor (8883)
- Power Functions Large Motor (88003)
- BuWizz unit - racingbrick.com/buwizz

This is very useful, thank you! When I do get my model I will be putting power functions in
Many thanks for the video, great as usual.
thank you buddy. you did an amazing job explaining. well done
Great video (as always)
Great. I thought my BuWizz would work but its good to have confirmation. Now i need to get another large motor as my others are already in use. Great video
Very useful, thanks a lot
That was great, thank you! I think I will only keep my croco on display or in a dead end track in the rail yard, just for show. But it is good to see what it can do!
Great!!👍👍
I count the hours to buy it. In Germany on 01.07 😍 Thanks for the video. Greatings from germany
Great tips. I’ve not seen some of those motors before, but I’m still exploring. My eldest is only 6 so I’ve got a lot to learn. But he loves Lego trains.
I'm gonna do this to mine when I get it! thanks!
Interesting. I've been trying to figure out how to use an angular motor (Spike or RIS) in this train. I have the hub and remote, and so many angled motors. No straight motors.
nice presentation!
Awesome
BuzWizz box is nice but it is a quite expensive option at 129 Euros or $150 US. I think it is better to make some modifications to the train and use the older components.
Epic
I really need to invest into Buwizz’ for my trains.
If I get a Crocodile, BuWizz is on my list!
I have Funk with my 2 BuWizz for many Technik Models
Great video. Have a nice day
There is an awesome Lego Via Rail that needs support on Lego Ideas. It might be turned into a Lego set that you can buy. It can be motorized with Lego Powered Up. It comes with a baggage car that can store canoes, a sleeping car with a lot play features, and a dome car with a lot of play features. I really want this train to achieve support and be turned into a Lego set.
good video Racingbrick, as always

I agree.
se dice que el 88013 consume mucha energía y las baterías duran muy poco, sabes algo al respecto?
Great video! :) The BuWizz unit seems to be great! Nevertheless, one "problem" isn`t solved: the force to use the mobile phone. If my trains are running, I didn`t want to use my phone... Therefore a very simple remote control is better - in my eyes...

In this case you can stick to the original conversion with the Powered Up hub and you can use the Powered Up remote :)
Azokba a motorokba van nyomaték csak sajnos gyorsan megtörik bennük a vezeték és akkor alig lehet szerelni.
i saw this and I was like OwO what's this, now I know
Buwizz it’s a bit to expensive for me (at least where I live)
Good video! If you fitted an sbrick instead of the ir reciever would the roof fit properly? I have an sbrick but not s buwizz

You need to restructure the roof with the SBrick as well, the top of the SBrick with the PF connector will sit higher than the PF connector on the battery box.

@@RacingBrick i have a sbrick and you can put the PF connector cable for the battery box on the bottom of the sbrick (there is one connector there + 4 on the top) meaning it will stay at the bottom of the train and not near the roof. The top of the sbrick is in a stair shape so you can connect the medium or large motor's PF connector to one of the lowest of the 2, it will not stick out. The Sbrick is the same size as the WuBizz in term of height, except it's a square and not a rectagle, so you cut the lenght in half (for managing the cable beside it)

@@RacingBrick the battery box goes to one side of the train (left in your video) and the sbrick next to it, to the right (where you put the PF infrared receiver in the video, but more to the right and lower. I guess the motor is under those 2. i don't have this set yet but willing to get it when it comes out (in 2-3 days). Also, you can not modify one of the 2 other trains just to put the S-brick/receiver/battery box ? I have the winter village train and there, you put the battery box on a separate wagon (you will see the cable going between the 2, i know). BTW, I am also from Hungary, but live in Canada now :) Excellent videos.

Thanks! Actually you cannot put the SBrick lower on the other side. Left side is "full" with the Battery box, same situation on the other side with the motor, the SBrick can only sit on the top of the motor. It is not as high as the IR reciever but still reaches the top edge of the sides, so you cannot insert the roof between the two sides. The 2 end sections are only 5 stud wide so you cannot fit the 4 stud wide SBrick between the sides there. Obviously anything can be fitted but not without a bigger redesign.
i guess this is conformed
Can you tell me what motor you used with the BuWizz system in the train?

@@R0Sch88 I've seen Jang's video about this, can it be the difference of the metal-covered and plastic tracks? Might be a good thing to test your locomotive on standard plastic tracks.
everyone says this set doesnt handle corners and derails alle the time. we actually saw that. Here? YOU SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND.
Maybe it would be worth mentioning that one Buwizz unit costs 129 Euro which is much more than this locomotive, haha.

I did not forget it, but that one also requires a modification of the roof for 2 reasons - you need to stick to the AAA battery box meaning the PF connector on that is already interfering with the roof, and if you put the SBrick on top of the motor then again the top will be at the same level as the tiles on the side of the car so that means even bigger modifications for the roof.

You can use SBrick as well of course, but it will be kind of similar to the PF IR receiver, as it will not fit besides the motor and the battery box without modifying the roof
