LEGO Technic 42099 4x4 X-treme Off Roader Review

[@Nico71Fr]

That is very nice that you have it before everyone ! Thanks for the review :)

[@PhantomStrain]

Oh man, I've been waiting for Lego to release planetary final drives for ages!

[@Antony116]

It would be great to see the competition 42099 vs. 9398

[@nak_attak]

Agreed

[@ZEROBRICKS]

Might rebuild 9398 and give you such a video if there will be enough demand!

[@mileskosik472]

@@ZEROBRICKS I'd absolutely love this! This set seems to be the direct successor with the new powered up system instead of pf. Also the suspension is pretty different, I'd like to see how they stand up over obstacles.

I’m very keen on this comparison!

Less stickers and more power and speed would be better.

[@ryzen4368]

This model is many times faster than heavy off road lego vehicles, you are correct in saying that it needs more torque.

[@Motobros-rl6lu]

Yeah exactly it would be much more better with more power and speed

[@Kiwo_]

Well in the lego World this speed and Power is high but yes could be a bit higher

[@astrowx447]

Speed, no. Crawlers are high torque and often slow vehicles.

[@NicWir]

@@astrowx447 yea but that thing isn't a crawler, maybe it can drive over a coin but nothing thats higher..

Mehr Bodenfreiheit, Starrachsen (Portalachsen?), Öldruckstoßdämpfer, langsamere, stärkere Untersetzung, Differentialsperren/ keine Diffs, Adapter um anständige Elektrik einzubauen (2,4GHz- Empfänger, 540er- Motor, Fahrregler, Servo, 2s LiPo- Akku) und 2,4GHz- Sender und oben genannte elektrische Bauteile müssen dabei sein

At first I was excited to see a “modified Toyota”. But after watching your review the performance is more in line with a jeep. Great little review man!

[@StandingUpForBetter]

Great review. I really appreciate the thorough testing. This set combines my 2 loves of MRC Tamiya and Lego. Fantastic. I will definitely be on the look out for this. Thanks for the review.

[@LuisLPRCs]

Looks like one of my RC trucks, but with Legos. Crazy! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@J_Calvin_Hobbes]

Pro-line Racing makes 1.9" rim size R/C rock crawler tires that fit on the rims. I bought some knock offs on Amazon. 4.7" tall, look wicked cool on the 42099! Have not run it with new tires as I'm about to tear down and build MOC's I saw on Rebrickable before I play. I posted photos on Rebrickable forum, search for Non Lego Tires.

[@Brickbait]

It looks great for sure.

[@mechwarrior13]

Swap the drive gears and it can climb ridiculous angles until it rolls back, at expense of speed. Also increase ride height by moving the shocks one stud closer to the center, drawback is narrower wheel base. It makes functionality 9/10

[@maszkalman3676]

well it should come as either changeable gears or better geared from the box for the price, as stock it climbs worse than the 9398 offroader and that one has weak m motors change that for l motors or aftermarket ones and you better off with that....

[@camdflage]

Looks like it could do with a 'drag bumper' - connected to the front, and sweeping underneath the centre of the chasis, to protect the forward and underside from scrapes and block damages.

[@ryzen4368]

That would give the car even less ground clearance

[@camdflage]

Labster Industries I was thinking a strip of non-Lego plastic about 2mm thick. It's non canon, but would assist at high speeds in protecting the more expensive parts.

[@sebastianeleisonstenli2660]

you should actually put the pins that hold the wirres outside the body not inside, placing the pins outside helps taking the battery out without removing the bodywork

[@mckarov5818]

Satisfying to see

I wouldn't call a 200+$ set goldmine. It maybe has a few new pieces and motors but controlling this set with app is hard (if you have EV3 and control it with an app, you would know). Even if car transporter has no motors, I think it's worth it, 2000+ pieces for 150$

I got a challenge for you if you can do a comparison of the PU parts on this build with PF and see which one is better in climbing speed outdoor etc. I think it would be really interesting to see them compete and find out which is better overall awesome review no clue how you got it so early im really hoping the price is under $200 but i doubt it

[@rufflesal]

[@paologalbiati3782]

Thanks for your rewiev, am i wrong or the new xl motor has much less torque than the old one? Looking to your vertical test, the crawler stops at a ridicoulous incline... Hope its a problem of gearing... What do you think about? Thanks.

[@robin_iv]

I think its also important that the motors are not connected directly to the wheels and one motor has to power two wheels over those many gears. It's very inefficient and causes the motor to produce more power that than the wheels will get. Also the weight of the Model and the hub has to be considered when talking about the slope angle. And don't forget the Clutch gear built inside.

[@paologalbiati3782]

@@robin_iv hi robin, everything you wrote is correct except, maybe i'm wrong, the cloutch gear inside the transmission, i didn't see it. I think the friction generated by the transmission is the same of the old rock crawler. I think the 1:2,77 final gear ratio, is the main issue. If new xl has an higer rpm, the torque is for sure lower than the old one. Looking at the comparison of the two xl version, I assume that the speed is doubled in the new one, making this final gear ratio similar to a 1:5,5 with the old PF xl. That's why the crawler is stalling so easily. Probably, with a 3:1 gear ratio, this thing can became a serious climber.

[@bossolo7582]

sicuramente avrebbe avuto maggior resa se fossero direttamente attaccati ciascuno al proprio differenziale senza altre rapportature di mezzo, vista la velocità già alta..curioso di testare i nuovi pezzi con buggy motors e buwizz, non sto nella pelle 😝

[@bossolo7582]

@@robin_iv a clutch into the motor, especially xls, would mean killing it 😬

[@robin_iv]

@@bossolo7582 Sorry. You misunderstood me. I meant inside the vehicle. There is a new part, the linear clutch gear which they built in the car. Not inside the motor. This would make of course no sense. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5a9fYtnqLV1qck here is the vehicle explained and they also show the new parts. Including the new linear clutch.

this needs proper reduction gears and way more aggressive tyres. it would be much more capable if it had solid axles

Why not 4wd with one buggy motor for each axle?

[@GJBricks]

I'm a little disappointed by that ground clearance and low gear ratio. Sure the gearing can be upgraded but do they do bigger tires than that? Maybe the old school Technic airless tires.

[@MrMikey1703]

I think so, but that app is very hard to use.

[@aamm8615]

Never mind, I see now it said new yellow/orange color lol

[@rm8brickgarage]

Many question left not disclosured : are you going to compare motors not only by speed, but also torque? Could you test these motors with train/batmobile smart hub and train remote? Almost nothing about new wheel hubs, except fact that it is 1:5.5 reduction.....you have a luck and lot of time to do it better, man...before embargo date will come and all info we want, will be disclosed by other reviewers 🤷🏻‍♂️ get hype, don't loose privilege

[@ZEROBRICKS]

I did indeed test motors, but the hub limits their current some 600mA before cutting them off, so I couldn't fully test their performance.

[@rm8brickgarage]

Zerobricks could this be a software limit?

[@ZEROBRICKS]

@@rm8brickgarage I think it's hardware limit, but can't be sure until we get the app. I will do a follow up video when control + app is released

[@SKGAMING-sf5cp]

Would you recommend bigger wheels for more ground clearance?

[@ZEROBRICKS]

There are no bigger wheels

[@Fluterra]

Hard to believe Lego still doesn’t have a rechargeable battery pack. WTF?! I am not buying this until then. I do NOT want to put stupid AA batteries in on a regular basis. Come on LEGO! They say they are concerned about the environment, yet are a good 20 years behind when it comes to electrical.

[@grantdavis5992]

Panasonic brand Eneloop low self-discharge NiMh AA cells could probably give better performance than the alkaline ones they used. Best rechargeable batteries I have found.
