LEGO 42129 4x4 Zetros VS Custom LEGO Trial Trucks

Another awesome video, in this case showing the ingenuity of an MOC builder. I will be honest, given that this is what Lego do for a business, I expected a better result from them. Well done on beating the big boys at their own game once again. Keep up the great work Sariel.

[@carenthusiast172]

Those slow-mos look like scenes from Transformers. Also, the Snails have done a really good job!

[@tlaato]

I would rather buy any of those MOCs than the actual Lego set.

[@tjzp]

price of parts for some of those moc sets is through the roof though.

[@EvanMoon]

The thing is we feel, like connect with individual people better than something that we feel came out of a machine. So we think a MOC Is a lot better. If you bought the big yellow technic truck 42099 There is an awesome moc call “ROCKY” and I would highly recommend buying the instructions for that.

[@bigredrocksmysocks]

@@EvanMoon Thanks for the recommendation!! I just checked it out

[@tlaato]

@@tjzp Price may be an issue for MOCs, but if similar set was created by Lego at around 10 cents/piece, they usually would be affordable. Unfortunately Ural is probably too "military" for Lego...

[@tlaato]

@@EvanMoon Some sets by Lego are awesome. Some other sets like this truck on the video are far from that. It is too slow with poor ground clearance and unsatisfactory turning radius. All those MOCs seem to perform much better. Of course we don't know, what would be price of such a set...

[@Jordmund]

Good idea to compare the official set truck with MOC trucks. Maybe LEGO will learn from this when making it's next trial truck in future

[@Pascal-1984]

Lego just learns how much money for crap will their customers pay...

[@siruspan]

Official lego sets have different goals than MOC so there really is no point comparing them other than entertainment.

[@Saruzeufel]

THIS is the video I was waiting for from the moment I saw that the Zetros will be a trial truck!

[@FlyLegy]

This is a fine showcase of the difference between designing a model that sells and engineering a model that works.

[@masterofthelag8414]

Well, it's nice to see lego giving trial trucks a go and at least it could handle most of those obstacles even if it handled them worse than the MOC's. And even they fell over a few times so it's clearly hard going. But it seems they've still got a lot to learn if they're going to make anything that can really keep up.

[@yeetethdeleteth3307]

[@jurekgadzinowski2895]

Conclusion: Zetros is a fricking joke! It is so slow, has so small ground clerance between wheels, its turning radius is terrible and it flips everywhere. But still better than 6 wheel off road tow truck with pf, that cant eben drive on a gravel.

im shore alot of us watching this can make a better off-roader than lego and for less than 300 euro. a well made video to you sariel. it would off bean more fun if you and the other guys all had MOC'S and went off-roading together that would have bean fun to watch.

[@sergion1406]

It was very heartwarming to see Urals, but Zetros is so beautiful...

[@matthew_dag6201]

The zetros was also designed to look good, and while it does accomplish this, it means it is extremely front heavy and has a much higher center of gravity, especially compared to its wheel size

[@szymonbiernacik8825]

Zetros ma za małe opony i za mały kont rampowy. Ciekawa byla by modyfikacja jego, tak jak w prawdziwych terenówkach, pondnieszenie zaweszenia, zmiana opon na wieksze, a w jego przypadku to może przerobienie w cięzarówke 6x6, chociaz w takim razie to z oryginalnego zestwu zostanie głownie nadwozie i może przednia oś. To może takie wyzwanie na następny odcinek: poprawić jego zdolności terenowe. Powodzenia😉

[@searme]

Be my guest: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXXLoaSYeq6ihsU&ab_channel=Sariel%27sBricks%26Pets

[@mackpackable]

The Zetros' performance is disappointing but not surprising. That said I do think the set is a decent starting point for building a trial truck. Some relatively minor changes would probably improve its performance quite a bit, even if the base set is already rather expensive as is. I do think seeing a differential lock in a official set is just cool. The designers have to straddle a thin line between form, function and price. MOC designers aren't beholden to these restrictions or at least not to the same extend. I'll probably get the set and try my hand at fixing/improving it. Sounds like a fun project.

[@zaxisontherun]

Good suspension and large wheels👍

[@PhoenixClank]

It may be just a coincidence, but the Zetros seems less tumbly. Where the other trucks keep rolling and rolling when they tip over, the Zetros stops and just lies there, or even more impressively, lands back on its wheels. The turning radius is absolutely embarrassing, though. And so is the loose engine cover.

[@p3rpl3x1985]

Despite the effectiveness of lego technic RCs, we can all agree that the build quality is always solid. It’s quite difficult to take apart some of the technic sets .

[@EvanMoon]

Very good video! I want to see one of your MOC battle it out

[@BaconKing420]

The only solution found to fixing the stability of the Zetros’s rear axle without a complete rebuild is to lower the ground clearance by 0.5 studs.

[@williamschlechtiv1598]

If all of you guys in the video made a trial truck it would be the ultimate trail truck

[@jackradzelovage6961]

nice work! now you need to beef it up with some of the mods you were mentioning in the debut video, ie. tires, front diff delete, softer suspension/higher up, etc. and then repeat the tests!

[@鄭澔謙]

do you have any pictures of that praga?, mostly interested in chassis

[@riodji]

Zetros set can be found now at 150euros or less (got one at 125euro for the kid For Xmas), For sure it misses 1 axis, XL motors instead of L (lower gear ratio and more speed), bigger Wheels and more ground clearance, to start to be a correct trial truck. Lego limitations are esthetic, ressemblance to the original truck and cost. Would be interesting to know the price of the Ural, Mod plan+pieces.

[@soopafamicom]

Need a motorised 8110 to test with these.

[@felixhoigt8542]

Lego is just a piece of junk compared to these MOC‘s. Compliments to the designer of these Moc‘s!

[@parasbuy7496]

No question the MOC designers are superb. But LEGO / TECHNIC seems to focus more on the build experience, rather than performance. They are not an RC, more of a model. The LEGO designers are also limited by constraints of cost / production / marketing / licensing / legal and the need to keep 20,000 people employed.

[@felixhoigt8542]

@@parasbuy7496 I agree, but instead of just looking at high margins they somehow forgot to look at customer needs and playability. At least they could have added one more axle. If they are just aiming for a exhibition Model they could have skipped all that c+ thingy. In my opinion the actual tow truck is the better deal.

We need to remember that the Zetros remains a kid's toy, and that it has to follow all kinds of crazy regulations to enter the production line (as we saw with many ideas sets). Still it remains a mistery why Lego didn't use bigger tyres. This truck looks like somebody who skipped leg day

@@searme ok thank you

[@BaconKing420]

And LEGO states that “the system is plastic, so the system would break down if it’s too powerful”, which solves the reason LEGO adds safety features (like open diffs and clutches), and doesn’t makes them powerful:

[@christinarocha956]

Do you think portal axles would be a good addition the the zetros?

[@searme]

Yeah, but they will make it less stable and reduce the gear ratio.

[@sergion1406]

[@senatorchinchilla5389]

Lego's decades of stuffing the same double wishbone into absolutely everything have finally caught up to them. What even ARE those live axles???

[@gosmbricks9833]

Totally agree, lego should have introduced new shock absorbers that are mid hardness between the hard and soft shocks, it would have made it so much better and would have added so much more value to the set

[@searme]

But mid-hardness LEGO shock absorbers exist and have been around for years. They just didn't use them here.

Sariel you did put your money where your mouth is.... Respect You concluded the Zetros was well... crap and you backed it up with a test to prove it. I actually like Milan's previous designs so puzzled what went wrong here. Probably the bean counters went after it with a hacksaw

[@sergion1406]

Wht lego not make faster and stiffer truck?

[@timehunter9467]

It wasn’t “too” bad, I think Lego don’t really make them powerful enough. It really does have an awful turning radius, I’ve made 8 wheeled vehicles that turn tighter.

It lost because of open diff at front axle and terrible maneuverability. Tires were just one of the problems but not the main one.

[@davidgrisard4057]

Un peut de poids sur l arrière serait mieux car il patine en monté et pic de lavant en descente et aucune adhérence

[@hegedusrp]

RC tires (third party tires) have way more grip than lego tires so this comparison is not so useful.

[@searme]

Grip is just one of Zetros' many problems.

[@sypialnia_studio]

It's just hilarious at this point how bad at designing the lego technic team is. They have all the parts, they can have new types of parts if needed, they have all the knowledge and still their model is just so bad at what it's supposed to do. How on earth is this possible when there are so many supertalented moc builders out there?

[@mikkxxo969]

I think it is on purpose. They will give you e.g. just locking diff in one model, so you need to buy another model to have transmission and another to have better tires, etc. This way you are basically still buying new models and learning new stuff. If you buy some chinese copy, you will get complete trial truck, but you do not need to buy anything new or try to build something better, because you already have the full package.
