Worse... Its transmission is too overloaded and can't handle the bigger tires and bigger grip. Several reviewers already notices that CV joints disenages themselves on off-road tracks with 42099 wheels.
Set this to 2x the playback speed for a decent viewing experience Also the reason why the Zetros can "climb" better is most likely because the tires are very new and have better grip - you could validate that theory with a simple tire swap.
Well that’s be due to the diff lock, most of the weight at the front axel and a long wheelbase allowing it to climb. Pretty basic stuff if you know 4wd’s
Good comparison. Both have advantages and both have disadvantages. Really depends on which people prefer. IF i could afford them here in New Zealand, I'd get 2 of each.
Nice video. Is there something wrong with the front wheel of your zetros no or you just keep moving them? I bought the zetros at 175 EUR (last box, on sale) and it's incredible. At the original 330 eur I'm not sure it would be worth it.
9398 is defenitely the best one, I dont understand why people would buy 900 parts for 180 dollar and u cant even use the motor for anything else. For example: I once used the motors to upgrade the b model of 42043 and i was able to use it with a remote. I dont recommend lego now
@@randomplayer3814 yes, i am looking for some lego or similar with motor (rc) and if it is possible control with the phone! Do you have a recomendation? Thanks!!! Lego or another brand...
well i will always say that 42099 was best lego rc - with such simple mod like switched gears it can do really everything - its easy to buy it much cheaper also. i will pass with zetros cuz its only looks cool - offroad is not best side for this truck
@@kaiserwilhelmi.4598 well 42030 was amazing too but it was difrent type of vehicle. - maybe again: 42099 is best offrad car from lego. cuz machines like excevators should not be compare
@@kaiserwilhelmi.4598 well racingbrick compare those 2 and they are very simmilar. i prefear the new one cuz its not that high so it not fall that often during ride on slope
I really like discussions! I am not a big fan of the new Control+ system, First of all due to lack of a proper controller. For now I soved this issues using Pybricks and lego remote from the new train set. And for the Zetros I read a lot of bad review, they describe It as a crawler that can crawl with structural problem (clicking on rear axle). I think on the other hand that Zetros had great material for MOC. Maybe I Will buy It but I think I Will use It directly fpr a MOC.
Thanks for the thorough comparison. Just to clarify - were all of these tests done using the 42099 with gears swapped? I might get 42129 when it goes on sale, otherwise not worth full price
A truck is not built to pass dunes or something like that; i loaded Zetros deck with a 9 (nine!) kilos load and runs on as if nothing happens! Try to believe!
The problem with both sets is, that they cost to much.😒
i agree i have the 4x4 x treme offroad (orange one) and i really would like the zetros
It would be interesting to see how the Zetros would do if you put bigger tires on it.
I've got the video ready. Stay tuned, next Sunday is the release day ;)
Worse... Its transmission is too overloaded and can't handle the bigger tires and bigger grip. Several reviewers already notices that CV joints disenages themselves on off-road tracks with 42099 wheels.
Zetros needed 50% bigger wheels, wider stance and a bit more height for the extra clearance to be effective at any basic climbing
I've managed to get the Zetros to climb 45 degrees using a long skateboard as the platform. The grippy surface helps.
Me too, i did it on a wood table and it climbed 45°, if you do it with cardboard you notice the difference, the grip is important
I have 42129 and I got to say it definitely does a good job with climbing
Conclusion: 42129 very overpriced and 42099 insanely overpriced.
The fact that it not fast
All of the Control+ sets are overpriced IMO, unless you get them discounted from a place like Zavvi
Thats…opposite
@@zaxisontherun by no means
Mercedes is soOOOOOoo slow, and got very small wheels, but is My favourite set❤❤👍👍👍 nice!
Zetros like: drive up and down a ramp all day long.... 😴😴😴
Set this to 2x the playback speed for a decent viewing experience
Also the reason why the Zetros can "climb" better is most likely because the tires are very new and have better grip - you could validate that theory with a simple tire swap.
Well that’s be due to the diff lock, most of the weight at the front axel and a long wheelbase allowing it to climb.
Pretty basic stuff if you know 4wd’s
Well yeah. A person did compare tires and the Zetros had the most grip.
@@tnc7399 grip I can’t comment on but there’s more to the story then grip alone
@@sirius9516 yeah, but the Zetros was unable to climb without the grip.
Nie
I would buy the zetros. If you put bigger wheels on it it will almost do all of these tests. Also the other one was modded so…
Good comparison. Both have advantages and both have disadvantages. Really depends on which people prefer. IF i could afford them here in New Zealand, I'd get 2 of each.
Well with proper gearing, 42099 can be stronger and a bit faster than zetros, but with the original gearing, it sucks
both horrifically overpriced, I'd say the orange one does look more fun because of the speed and manoeuvrability.
Nice traditional Hungarian background music, in a modern interpretation ☺️ it sounded so familiar, now I know why!
Díky za video
Ďakujem aj ja za pozretie😂

Nice, but the 42099 is modified so it’s not really a fair test
Only in the end, I think
The 42129 set can be used for good Mocs
nice video
I have 4x4 treme and its pretty good to play in street
Thanks is help me soooo much
you're welcome
what is about the Mould King® Models 103782 G700 6×6?
I only own the Mercedes so its my fav lol
42099!!! 🤩🤩🤩👌
42099 is my fav offroader,I bought it for 180 usd only at In’S Point

@@bealeg7311 what do you recommend? I am looking for somr kind og these for my son..
Thanks!!
@@bealeg7311 do you think i can add motor for example to 42122 wrangler? 😍😍
@@marcreus5527 do u mean RC ones?
@@randomplayer3814 yes, i am looking for some lego or similar with motor (rc) and if it is possible control with the phone! Do you have a recomendation? Thanks!!!
Lego or another brand...
the wheels of the zetros are backwards i dont think it made much of a difference in its performance but just tought its good to know
well i will always say that 42099 was best lego rc - with such simple mod like switched gears it can do really everything - its easy to buy it much cheaper also. i will pass with zetros cuz its only looks cool - offroad is not best side for this truck
The 42030 Volvo L350F was the best Lego rc, it has more functions than the offroader and the Zetros and it was cheaper too

If you drive the 4x4 in reverse in the slope test it can do 40 degrees
Is that how slow the Zetros is?!
Make the Zetros a 6*6 and he'll be much much better.
If only I was so good in building
@@AllTheBricksTogether with all the videos you make and all the models you built, i decide that you are joking when you say this 😁.
Thank you! So the final question Is: Is Zetros with It 300 € a must buy?
Short answer. No.
@@_seriousrob_ ok thank you!
For me it is. Price isn't everything because you get 4 motors and a technic hub

Think about what 300€ are and what you could get from alternative companies. Imo not worth. 200 maximum, and 200 is A LOT of money for a toy.
Why not just buy 2 tg or buggies?
Thanks for the thorough comparison. Just to clarify - were all of these tests done using the 42099 with gears swapped?
I might get 42129 when it goes on sale, otherwise not worth full price
yes, my 42099 is always in switched gears mod. Standard mode is weak.
2:30 très belles chaussettes! lol
mes plus preferees
Is it normal that rear wheels are a little slower than the front wheels in 42129?
It should be fine, so long as there isn’t a massive difference
A truck is not built to pass dunes or something like that; i loaded Zetros deck with a 9 (nine!) kilos load and runs on as if nothing happens! Try to believe!
the mercedes has more torque, so it has a great climbing ability and the offroader has a higher gear ratio.
With my zetros I did over 50 degrees on a good surface of a windshield on a car
I like the truck, but the best is the race off roader
I like zetros!
Can you share more info on axle mod?
Next week I'm going to record such things. App wasn't available in time of recording this one video.
switch gear in 42099 and they win :)
So good
Thank you
Answer to all problems= lego jeep wrangler
bcs Lego should make Kamaz Dakar Edition truck, not this Mercedes flatty thing
i thought that zetros will win everything! also, you are from slovakia aren't you?
Yep he is
Mercedes is not better at crawling but it’s way stronger
Is the price the same ?
no
Ahoj kde si našiel to lego Mercedes?
napríklad Alza 😂
This is need!
You put the tires wrong for the Mercedes duh that’s why
Monster truck is the off-road and mecedes Benz
Cool
thank you!
Slovenský knížky? :D
😂😂 Áno, som Slovák😂😂
Cože já jsem Čech
Jooo
off road is best
I think 42129 is much better.
No
well as u saw on video - nope - it looks better but 42099 is much better for offrading
faine
a csitári hegyek alatt. lol
Haha igen !
2 car futur
Both sets are bullshit. Sorry Lego.
True. Thanks
you can talk czech?

Mercedes is stronger I done a tug of war
