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

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

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.

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.

I got it for 170€ with shipping costs included. Great review, and thanks for the suspension modification!

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.

Can you also review the Lamborghini sian..pls

[brickmadness]

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!

I got this set on Amazon Prime for £170, and it was an absolute steal!

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.

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 )

What is your opinion on buwizz. It is bluetooth and power functions. Also the variable voltage is pretty cool. Can u do a review?

[bricksfirst]

I just bought this kit a week ago. The mocs look good! I'm hoping the app works ok.

[stopmotionstuds]

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!

[eagleeye]

I modified IT to have higher groundclearence and lower gear and more articulation and there is no differentials now it climbed 49 degrees!

[molaykumar]

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!)

[tygger]

Do you have a video on changing gear ratio
