MOC Motors for Power Functions Building Blocks, M, L, XL and Servo Steering Options
Estimated delivery: 3–10 days
Item details Materials, dimensions, what is in the box
MOC motors for Power Functions building blocks bring motorized movement to your MOC builds. Choose from M Motor, L Motor, XL Motor or Servo Steering Motor styles to suit your project. These motors work with compatible Power Functions building-block components, letting you incorporate movement or steering into your construction.
Build your setup around compatible power and control components. The Power Functions range described here includes battery boxes, train track motors, infrared controllers and receivers, speed-control remotes, LED power strips, current-control switches, and extension wires in 25 cm and 50 cm lengths. For remote-controlled builds, choose a controller and receiver together as a matching pair, since they may not match components you already own. The two 9V AAA battery-case designs each require six AAA batteries, which are not included. Select your motor style before ordering, and match your supporting components to the setup you plan to build.

What problem does it solve?
Add movement or steering to your building-block projects with a motor that suits your build. Choose an M, L or XL motor for motorized construction, or a servo steering motor for steering applications. These are components for MOC Power Functions builds, rather than kitchen tools.
When planning a remote-controlled setup, pair the controller and receiver together to help avoid a mismatch with components you already own. That gives you a concrete compatibility detail to check before assembling your project.
The problem in numbers
- US teens ages 13–18 averaged 8 hours and 39 minutes of daily entertainment screen use in 2021, excluding school and homework. (Common Sense Media, 2022)
- Entertainment screen use increased 17% among both US tweens and teens between 2019 and 2021. (Common Sense Media, 2022)
- Among US teens surveyed, 84% used social media, but only 34% enjoyed it a lot. (Common Sense Media, 2022)
These findings provide context for offering hands-on activities alongside screen entertainment: these motors add movement or steering to compatible building-block projects. The research did not test these motors or establish that they reduce screen time.
Why choose this one?
The practical strength is the choice of four motor styles for compatible MOC Power Functions builds. With M, L, XL and Servo Steering Motor options, you can select the component that fits your construction plans instead of being limited to a single motor style.
Compatibility with Power Functions building-block components makes these motors an option for projects built around that system. Pick the style your project calls for, whether you're incorporating motorized movement or a steering mechanism.
What exactly do you get?
Your selection is one of four motor styles: M Motor, L Motor, XL Motor or Servo Steering Motor. Each style is a separate variant, so choose the motor you want rather than treating the four options as a combined set.
The motors are intended for compatible MOC Power Functions building-block assemblies. For a remote-controlled arrangement, use a matching controller-and-receiver pair, since those components may not match ones you already own.
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about the materials, care and everyday use — no fine print.
What are these motors used for?
These MOC motors are for compatible Power Functions building-block projects. Use them as motor components in your construction builds.
Which motor styles can I choose?
You can choose M Motor, L Motor, XL Motor or Servo Steering Motor. Select the style that matches your planned assembly.
Which option is intended for steering?
Choose the Servo Steering Motor for steering applications. It is a separate style option alongside the M, L and XL motors.
Are these motors compatible with Power Functions builds?
These motors are intended for compatible MOC Power Functions building-block assemblies. The M, L and XL styles are identified as compatible with that system.
Should I buy a controller and receiver together?
Choose the controller and receiver together as a matching pair. They may not match the control components you already own.
What types of remote controls are described?
The control options include an infrared remote control and an infrared speed-control remote, each paired with a receiver. Choose a matching controller-and-receiver combination for your setup.
What batteries do the 9V AAA battery cases require?
Each of the two 9V AAA battery-case designs requires six AAA batteries. Those batteries are not included with the cases.
What extension-wire lengths are described for the system?
The extension-wire lengths are 25 cm and 50 cm. These correspond to approximately 9.84 inches and 19.69 inches.
What age range is recommended?
The recommended age is 14 years and up. Keep that recommendation in mind when choosing components for a younger builder or buying a gift.
What other components are described for Power Functions setups?
The component range includes train track motors, battery boxes, an LED power strip and a current-control switch. Controllers, receivers and extension wires are also described for use in compatible assemblies.
