LEGO Technic 4x4 X-Treme Off-Roader 42099 Reviewed! Is it that bad?
HTML-код

- The LEGO Technic 4x4 X-Treme Off-Roader 42099 is the first set that came with the Control+ system in a LEGO Technic set, also known as the Powered Up system. Is this set really that bad? Or is it actually a decent off roader? And most importantly, is it better than the LEGO Technic 4x4 Crawlers we got back in the power functions era?

This review is a lot more positive than i thought it would be
Riiiiight! I 🤔 think it's because the caption says does it suck
I have noticed other youtubers just doing a normal review but here you have given modifications too and you have done an absolutely good job here giving details and a lot of information about it and this is called the real review.
Thank you very much
this set is extremely expensive, but for AFOL and MOCers specialized into vehicles (like me) literally every single piece is gold. planetary hubs and reinforced joints alone are a dream come true and can take a lot of abuse even from buwizz...they have the most efficient reduction (and most robust connections) for transmissions available, and at the moment is the only set that has them. but also minor things, from useful connectors and pieces which last but not leastt came not in clowny colours. an unforgivable missing for me is not indicating on the instructions the three gear ratio you can obtain by simply switching few gears, with the educational purpose of explaining torque and speed or setting it to your preference.
Awesome clearance mod! I have this set myself and completely regeared and built a new shell for it and it is by far the best set I have ever built!
Epic editing!
:)
thank you very much
I got it for 170€ with shipping costs included. Great review, and thanks for the suspension modification!
This set is awesome. I got 2 on a 50% off second purchase sale and made a 6x6 moc
I got this set on Amazon Prime for £170, and it was an absolute steal!
Not really the 2012 crawlen is better
@@ricoricardo4850 2013 special edition crawler is king of lego technic crawlers
As much as I like legos, for the price you can get and modify a hobby grade crawler if you really want to crawl around and get that experience. In terms of lego sets, its pretty awesome though.
Yeah I agree, for the same price you can get a hobby grade RC airplane for example, and get tons more for the value. All lego sets are really overpriced compared to other toys though.
It's certainly expensive, but also pretty cool to think of all the different vehicles you could make with the kit. I love my RC crawlers (and real one) but Legos just allow an ease and freedom not found many other places
Hello^^
The LEGO 42099 is a great LEGO technique.
You can run alone
It would be nice to combine it with other trailers and farm equipment.
I also bought it and I love it.
Part No.s for the lower ratio gears please? 🙂
( Not a Lego nerd.... )
I LOVE YOUR VIDS AND WHEN IS THE NEW LEGO TECHNIC BULLDOZER COMMING OUT?
Thank you very much, the bulldozer is coming out October 2021
@@Unbrickme Okay, Thankyou! btw i subed and turned on the bell for your channel I LOVE IT!
@@EpicGamer-wi8qn Thanks! I really appreciate it
i got the 9398 from 2012 (ore 2013 idk) and I am thinking of buying this one too. But I‘m not so impressed by its offroad capability...
I just bought this kit a week ago. The mocs look good! I'm hoping the app works ok.
App shouldn’t be a concern it works awesome
@@Unbrickme Great news! I watched some of the first reviews and wasn't sure
@@bricksfirst5584 the 2012 crawlen is better
@Bricks First the app works fine but I use BrickController2 as you can connect to the hub through your phone and then assign gaming controller or game pad controls to the different motors.
The 9398 is still my favorite but after you made that modification I like this one a little bit more.
My favorite is the 41999! It's limited edition and has much more functionality than the 9398, with a working winch and headlights
Hey unbrickme can u make a vid listing the top 10 10$ sets
Are u gonna review the B models of 42120 and 42121
@@sasstudio7671 maybe
Can you also review the Lamborghini sian..pls
maybe
Pls
Bro pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls
Every one wants unbrikme todo a review to the lamborghini sian put q like or comment pls guys
May I ask, what is a cheap lego set for beginners? I am pretty new to technic, (I use the system) so what would be the best set (cheap too!)
I would say that the Ducati panigale v4r is the perfect start we set for anyone who is new to technic. It’s got basically every technic mechanisms in a small $70 package. If you want an even smaller set, I would recommend the $30 rescue hovercraft coming in March
@@Unbrickme Ok Thanks! Will buy one of them!
What is your opinion on buwizz. It is bluetooth and power functions. Also the variable voltage is pretty cool. Can u do a review?
I think it's a cool concept, but its definitely expensive
I did too but its cheaper than switching to powered up and the voltages ad so much to MOC making
@@alexmoore5435 True but switching to powered up is easier for me. I usually never buy the electronic components separately they all came in official technic sets anyways
buwizz is simply lightyears ahead since it was born and still it is, under every aspect, the comparison is unfair...
@@Unbrickme c+ is definetly expensive! 80/90 € for a bluetooth battery box with functions and settings that are ok for babies, are we serious? i find buwizz price more than honest in general for what it offers, but if compared with lego options i even find it ridiculously cheap!
Cool video!
thank you very much! do you own this set?
@@Unbrickme No but I love lego technic and your videos! I’m 10
My biggest set is the Porsche 911 RSR (the white one) and I wish I could get the 6X6 hauler
I modified IT to have higher groundclearence and lower gear and more articulation and there is no differentials now it climbed 49 degrees!
That’s awesome
That intro is channel switch inducing...
Thank you very much :)
42070: _hold my moldy beer_
Can you do one on all the pull backs made or another price Guide
Yeah sure I’ll do both of those soon
@@Unbrickme awesome thank you
Do you have a video on changing gear ratio
I have a video explaining how a lego 8 speed transmission works: ruclips.net/video/-e_vOJdyhG0/видео.html
This is the best set review I have ever seen. Instead of focusing on the flaws of the set you highlighted the pros. Great review!
Thank you very much
I think the 9398 was the best.
Ill have it, and it has a wonderfull potential.
9398 was epic, I definitely prefer the 41999 though. It’s limited edition, and it’s got a motorized winch with headlights
Whoa.. 42999? Do you have a time machine or something? 😆
@@brickmadness5402 You mean 41999? I don't see the comment edited or anything...
I wish I could buy this set, even though money is tight.
i paid 144 for the set, not done building yet. going to mod after first play:)
In Denmark the Price is 285 dollars
I hope LEGO makes Mars Mission rover Perseverance
Same here
what app are using?
Control+
Its on sale here $144.00
i love this thing. i built one a month ago and i want to buy another so i can build it again in a few years
nice!
You can also take it apart and rebuild it as well I do that a lot with my own sets
I'm to poor for Lego power functions . I live in Poland and for example this set is 250 usd dollars right? well not for me it cost a GIGANTIC 1,050.26 Poland złoty ( so i have to buy Cada )
Yes this one cost 250$
Can you leave all the stickers off?
Yeah you can, I personally prefer the look with the stickers
Who would win this or the off road buggy ?
Definitely this set, in a pure off road performance test. Off road buggy does provide a better bang for your buck though at retail
@@Unbrickme yeah the buggy is way better for it's retail value but I was also thinking in a race with gearing modifications made
@@adrian_zombturtle148 if we removed the planetary wheel hubs and with gearing mods then the 4x4 xtreme off roader would 100% win, since it has a dual motor drive, instead of a single motor drive
@@Unbrickme woah probably but its heavier so im not so sure
@@adrian_zombturtle148 the buggy is a nice and funny set but the 4x4 is just the perfect beginner pack, it has the best pieces available and much more potential if you're going to build your own vehicles...also, yes the buggy costs less, but in comparison is way more expensive than the 4x4 which also is easy to find for sale
Show up for the review, stay for the Lotus Juice
Get 9398 and see how it performs
I already have that set, both that one and 41999
I like this review
Unbrickme: this set is so overpriced.
Also unbrickme: this set is so nice.
It all depends how much you got it, and if it had a gear box. :)
Exactly
Mode 1: throttle on the right, steering on the left.
Mode 2: throttle on the left, steering on the right.
In the professional RC hobby world these are the definitions of where things are located, specifically for aviation. What you are accustom to is generally determined by where you are in the world. Here in the US most everybody flies mode 2. New Zealand typically flies mode 1. In the old days, RC car remote controls looked just like today’s aviation controls, before they went to trigger style remotes. Nonetheless, the same vocabulary applies.
Can you do a video on all your sets please
I don’t have all of them built
Good set, but that price...
I completely agree
@@Unbrickme especially when you can get 42114 for the same price!! If 42114 was $350 this set would certainly receive less criticisms...
@@gaeaewgeawgawegaewgaewgaew4102 42114 at $350 would've been extremely overpriced
@@Unbrickme Exactly but there will be less complaints about this set. If the hub is actually worth $90 like listed at LEGO.com then these sets are underpriced, but I can easily find the hub for $30 and free shipping...
Your big brain 3:30 -3:48
I got it for 87 bucks
Sealed?
Yes
But would you believe I live in Africa Nigeria and this costs 250,000 naira Nigerians will understand
Great Lego set for Lego fans, but I would buy much better crawler car for this price like RGT 136100, RGT 86100, ...
