Akbalder Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 The turntable on the front looks a bit strange. It would make sens to have a real usage. Quote

It (and another turntable in the middle of the chassis) does have an usage: to articulate the chassis so as to increase suspension travel. This function doesn't really need a motor Quote
sirslayer Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 It looks heavy!! Should be in all black !! :) Quote

sirslayer Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Good estimate Zero!! I want to say 1500 grams + or - 50 grams cause of the gearing in turnable up front Quote
Maaboo the Witch Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Think that this topic needs renaming to "4X4 X-treme Off-Roader". Edited June 7, 2019 by Maaboo35 Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted June 7, 2019 Author Posted June 7, 2019 The Japanese name is 4x4 Ultimate Off Roader though. I'll wait until the official name is out. Quote

Seasider Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 The cab is very sticker heavy. Hardly any of the underlying orange is on display. Not sure if I’ll get this straight away (I’m assuming it’s out in August?) and perhaps wait to see if it gets a discount or if there’s a better set in H1 2020 with the new electronics. do we know much about the app yet? Will we be able to create our own layouts like sbrick ? Quote

All I know is TLG have apparently had problems with it. I reckon it's affected the Liebherr but I don't know about the 4x4. I wonder if that's going to be pushed back as well... Quote

Maaboo the Witch Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 It's getting a pretty mixed reception over there. Looks like @Mestari and I are united on the no B-model subject, and a few others have raised the issue of this set being futureproof. In that it's likely not. Quote
sirslayer Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 The weight of the Lego 42099 , under item weight is 5.08lbs or 2.304kg.. thats very heavy for a crawler .. I hope the Control+ pulls it off Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted June 8, 2019 Author Posted June 8, 2019 If there's nothing new in this set besides the motors and the BBox, I'd love to see a mod with plain old PF components to make this thing futureproof. Quote
JLiu15 Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 It seems to have independent suspension modules on turntables. Doesn’t make much sense to me...maybe the turntables serve some other purpose? Anyways, this seems like a cool set with CLAAS tires and CONTROL+. Quote
Zerobricks Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 IMO the only reason Lego put independent suspension on this model was to raise the ground clearance of the axles. Quote
Didumos69 Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 I think they had trouble getting significant suspension travel with independent suspension and made the front axles pendular to compensate for the poor travel. The effect will be that when this model rides on very uneven surface, as suggested by the box imagery, the chassis will tilt along with the rear axles, as if they are a solid whole, and the front axles will do all the suspension work. The images on the box only show the model with it's front axles heavily articulated and the rear axles practically horizontal. That looks cool, but when the rear axles would stand uneven and the chassis along with them, that will look quite unbalanced. They deliberately left out such images on the box of course. Personally I find this really poor design. Quote
rm8 Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 I think they are choosed independent suspension setuup to accent on new planetary hubs that open up new possibilities for heavy-duty models without using old portal hubs. Quote

The rear axle doesn't tilt. The front axle extends all the way back to the rear axle so that turntable you are seeing at the rear axle is the rear support for the front axle. You wouldn't want both axles to be able to tilt freely because the whole vehicle would just flop over to one side or the other. Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted June 8, 2019 Author Posted June 8, 2019 I still don't get why this set doesn't get proper suspensions like 9398. Quote
