IN The fake motor does not have a self-resetting fuse, which reduces the cost of production, but removes the protective function against long-term voltage supply to the motor and the impossibility of twisting it.

The problem with fake motors is the inconsistency in rpm. If i'm trying to work out the gearing for a Lego GBC, the fake one's have to be set up on a motor by motor basis. If I pick up a genuine Lego M, L or XL motor, I know the output speed before I even use one (using a standard 9v power functions battery pack).

The L motor has long been my go-to. Now that LEGO is no longer selling them, and BrickLink prices have gone through the roof, good to know that there's a viable third-party alternative.

However, knock-off motors aren't always better. A friend gave me 2 fake buggy motors to test. Both were basically junk for several reasons, including misalignment between the output shaft and the pin holes on the case.

I use fake motors but not fake battery box, been using it for 6 months now

The fake train motors do go faster than the Lego train motors. Unfortunately this makes any train too fast for any corners. I'm still working on a way to make it slower to avoid crashing every turn.

[AhmedSheikh-zhej]

i never thought the fake wiuld win. Usually they are really low quality

[techniclife]

If you have more ideas about tests for testing the motors tell me.

[Air.]

Which one are they and where did you buy the fake ones?

[aronslegogbcs]

i use these fake motors in my GBCs with good results

[MaaamaaaMan-wi]

Fake motor may be "more powerful and cheaper" but its the build quality that matters more, cheap fake ones are definitely poor quality.

[implayingrobloxandwht]

You are right I just found out the circle thing in the cabel dosent have the lego logo

[gjacobson]

What brand is the fake, and where do I buy them?

[LioraLeung]

thanks for the experiment. It helps a lot.

[EarthBatTV]

You should have tested the car with an axle straight connected to the motor. Worm gear basically makes every motor equally strong

[zandizoo]

I got a lego set with gears any motors, but the power box seems different to all the others and only goes on and off. You need a controller for clockwise and anti-clockwise.

[spomy]

i have a fake L motor i bought for 4 dollars and it is pretty nice. But is does not have a lot of torque.

[carspowerchannel]

The fake one seems to be faster and more powerful.

[yusuff]

Here's a big downgrade.
The real motors are actually 12v motors, so you can push them as much as you want without them breaking.


While the fake ones are probably still 9v motors and can break if pushed to much

[Xenon-orfy]

some platforms provide L motors which's over current protection is quite sure that this is illegal
