What Are Power Functions in Mould King Sets?

If you’ve been exploring advanced building sets from Mould King, you’ve likely come across the term “Power Functions” — but what exactly does it mean?

🔌 What Are Power Functions?

Power Functions (PF) refer to a system of electronic components — such as motors, battery boxes, remote controls, and lights — that bring movement and interactivity to your Mould King builds. These parts are designed to be integrated seamlessly into certain kits, giving life to vehicles, machines, and mechanical systems.

In short: Power Functions make your builds move, light up, and react.

⚙️ Common Power Function Components

Mould King’s Power Function system includes several essential parts:

  • Motors (M, L, XL types): These drive movement in cars, cranes, gears, and more.

  • Battery Boxes: Usually lithium or AA-powered, these provide energy to the entire system.

  • Remote Controls or IR Receivers: Allow you to control movement from a distance.

  • LED Light Units: Enhance the visual appeal of cars or models with headlights and effects.

  • Extension Cables & Switches: Help route power through your build effectively.

Mould King often labels these parts as M-0001 to M-0007, compatible with LEGO’s PF system but uniquely designed.

🔄 How Power Functions Are Used in Sets

Not all Mould King sets come with Power Functions by default. Typically, the more advanced Technic-style or motorized sets (like cranes, RC cars, or robotics) include them, or allow for upgrades.

For example:

  • A supercar kit might feature a V12 engine powered by PF motors.

  • A tower crane could be rotated and raised using remote-controlled motors.

  • Some sets offer manual builds that can be upgraded by adding PF kits later.

🧩 Compatibility and Customization

 

Many builders love Mould King’s Power Functions because they’re:

  • Compatible with LEGO PF (for mixing or upgrading),

  • Expandable — you can swap in new motors or add lights,

  • DIY-Friendly — great for custom MOC (My Own Creation) projects.

You can also buy separate PF upgrade kits from Mould King if your set doesn’t include them.

🧠 Why Power Functions Matter

Power Functions add:

  • Interactivity – Your models come to life.

  • Educational value – Learn about circuits, mechanics, and engineering.

  • Creative potential – Build your own robots, RC cars, or automated models.

They transform passive builds into engaging mechanical systems that spark curiosity and learning.
