Fatteh Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Yep. The electrickery bits in the servo emit beeping and squeaking sounds. Wouldn't be a Lego motor if it wasn't noisy. Quote
Maaboo the Witch Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I'm wondering when the Power Functions L-Motor is to be released. It's pretty late into the year and there's still no definitive release date for it. Does anyone have any idea when it'll be released? Quote
MrNumbskull13 Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Look in the L, Servo Motor and V2 reciever post... Quote

Maaboo the Witch Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Thanks, everyone! Still nothing in S@H, btw. Quote
Hrafn Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 The servo motor and L-motor may not yet be up in S@H, but they're on the main Lego PF page, so hopefully they will come to S@H shortly: http://powerfunctions.lego.com/en-us/products/88004.aspx Quote
kevman Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 I've been using the first method in the following post till I get get another servo motor. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=54104 Works pretty good Quote
Pierre_Cochereau Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 The servo motor and L-motor may not yet be up in S@H, but they're on the main Lego PF page, so hopefully they will come to S@H shortly: http://powerfunction...ucts/88004.aspx They've been on there for awhile now, has nothing to do with them appearing on S@H ... don't hold your breath.

Kronos Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Shop at Home US has the L-motor and Servo listed as coming soon! L-motor $13.99 USD Servo $24.99 USD Quote
Rishab N Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 These are very expensive prices. I wonder why the l motor costs more than the XL? Quote
Boxerlego Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 The servo motor price seems fair. That is much I thought it would go for. These are very expensive prices. I wonder why the l motor costs more than the XL? Well The XL Motor is New for starters. And for the rest of the reason the XL motor is more cost efficient above all others. Quote

And for the rest of the reason the XL motor is more cost efficient above all others. This makes no sense. No, the servo motor is not priced fair, given that I could get a non lego one for about $10, and the L motor should sit right between the XL and the M motor in price, not above them both. The XL motor should cost the most, because it has the largest amount of copper, the expensive stuff, in the motor, while the L does not have nearly as much. I hope the prices are only preliminary, "cause they are just too much. Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 The m and XL motors are pretty cheap compared to what LEGO motors used to cost. Even the L motor is cheaper than the old motors. IIRC, the old LEGO motors cost $16.99, and that was 10+ years ago. Sure, I wish the L motor was cheaper, but $14 isn't too bad. Quote

The XL motor should cost the most, because it has the largest amount of copper, the expensive stuff, in the motor, while the L does not have nearly as much. I hope the prices are only preliminary, "cause they are just too much. Well let me tell you that the XL motor is not nearly as long as the L motor. So if we consider that every winding loop of the copper wire on the armature in the XL motor is reduced because of the small Length in armature size vs the longer armature length in the L motor, Which result in more length of copper wire to be used to warp the L motor armature. Then it can be establish that the XL motor is in fact more cost effective on copper then the L motor is just due to length of the armature. Now if that still does not make any sense to you can just dissemble your L and XL motor and pull the copper out for yourself and weigh it. Also the L motor has two magnets while the XL motor has one. As for the Servo motor if you were to go and compare prices on servo motor you will see that it is a fair price for it. Quote
MrNumbskull13 Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 That copper idea probably explains why L motor is the same speed as an M motor but has way more torque. Quote
CP5670 Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 The m and XL motors are pretty cheap compared to what LEGO motors used to cost. Even the L motor is cheaper than the old motors. IIRC, the old LEGO motors cost $16.99, and that was 10+ years ago. Sure, I wish the L motor was cheaper, but $14 isn't too bad. Yes, I remember those prices as well. All the electric Lego elements over the years have been overpriced to varying degrees. The PF motors are some of the few parts that are relatively reasonable. Although the L motor's price does seem out of place compared to the other two. Quote

Matthew LEGO Service Well, It's unfortunate that this is all there is, because I also recall asking if the prices of the motors were correct. And we wait some more... Quote
TinkerBrick Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Well, just another meaningless statement made of text modules. I would not expect them to arrive in large quantities within the next 8-10 weeks. Quote
Eigenbroetler Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 L motor is available in US now, but not in sweden :( Quote
dr_spock Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 L motor is available in Canada now too. Still waiting for the Servo motor. Quote
07jkearney Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Neither are on the UK shop at home yet Quote
