This XL-motor is quite strong and can easily drive a lego car without trouble. I enjoy using it, and it is much MUCH stronger than its smaller weaker counterpart, the M-motor. With the m-motor i am always afraid of breaking it if i don't gear it at all, but with th XL-Motor i am never worried about burning out. But as with most things you have to compromise on something. To get more power you compensate on the amount of motors that you can run from the same battery box. with the m-motors you can run 4, but with the XL-motor you can only run 2. The motor you want may depend on the kind of legos you have. If you have say alot of bricks but very few technic pieces, then you should probably get the m-motor because it actually has a bottom plate that allows it to be secured on bricks. On the other hand the xl-motor does not have this plate and you almost have to have some amount of technic to be able to use it. I have both an NXT and pf stuff so i will give you a motor comparison. First the NXT motors are stronger, hands down. However the pf xl-motors are much smaller and easier to integrate into models. Also the NXT motor is faster and more precise. On the other side of the scale, the pf xl-motor is much cheaper, both to buy and to run, because you only need a battery box to run it. I closing i will say that the xl-motor is not as effective as the an NXT servo, it is WAY cheaper, and much smaller.Read full review

Very high quality of this product. Bought it for my son, helping him to motorize very large and heavy truck. You do not need to worry - it will drive anything you put it in. Lowest RPM of all Lego motors, but still high enough for making real-looking models. Amazing torque value - I have actually seen vedeos of applications where this motor brakes parts like axles and gears. I do not worry for properly built drive models, but be carefull if you have some mechanical brakes on the way of this motor - they will be most likely broken, trying to stop it. Very good combination if you use it with speed controlled remote control. Very smooth and quiet working.
I brought this motor for my husband who is a mad lego builder and it was just what he was after. As he likes to build r/c vehicles this motor will have the power to run the type of cars he likes to make. He has also just got a book on strange contraptions which has contraptions that use motors, and using this kind of motor which is a bit slower but more powerful (more torque)will be good for the cralling and walking contraptions and cranes he likes to build. As he liked the motor i will be buying another soon.
I purchased this motor along with the rest of the power functions to power some RC machines. This motor has been excellent to use in all my larger and heavier technic creations. XL-motor is quite strong and can easily drive a lego car without trouble. I enjoy using it, and it is much stronger than its smaller weaker counterpart, the M-motor. With the m-motor i am always afraid of breaking it if i don't gear it at all, but with th XL-Motor i am never worried about burning out.
The whole experience was great
