    This set in theory is the perfect set for your channel, considering how many videos you have about truck trials and trial trucks. Kinda sad this set doesn't quite deliver even tho it has some potential... And while I agree that this would have been the perfect opportunity to introduce some proper truck tires, as a tractor fan i really can't wait to get some of those medium sized ones

    Well after what initially looked like a really cool set, the detail of the drivetrain and diff-locks looked great! Sadly the final model seems substantially lacking. Wheels seem far too small, drivetrain clearance is tiny and the huge amount of areas that break apart with next to no effort seems like a real big oversight?! I'll save my pennies this time!
    ... As for your video, I watch a lot of review vids from other channels and this is my first time seeing one of your. Very impressed and the thorough test display at the end was very clear and very much welcomed! I'll definitely be coming back here more often! Great stuff, thanks!

      I have an RC for bashing that outperforms any lego RC set that has ever been released combined but for a crawler I easily could see myself using a lego one. It's just more fun this way, building it, upgrading and rebuilding again for even more upgrades. Crawlers aren't meant to be super sturdy or have insane speed, exactly what lego can deliver.
      Will a normal crawler RC beat even the best lego construction? Sure. But will the RC owner have as much fun as the lego guy who built a custom truck and upgraded it's performance 100s of times? Doubtful ;)

    Hey sariel long time fan here, do you see any interesting uses for the new parts in mocs? I'm curious about how useful the new beams with alternating holes will be structurally. I think it's obvious that the new CV joint is going to be useful in suspension systems, but the new beams are interesting. I've seen stuff like that in knockoff sets which intrigued me, but it's nice to see Lego experiment with such basic parts like that. Also, are there any new parts or improvements to old parts you'd like to see Lego to make in the future? Thanks, again an old fan here. I must have watched you for about 10 years or more.

    It seems that the truck was initially developped as a 6x6, after that it became 4x4 without shortening the wheelbase, strange. And why not using portal axles (front) for more ground-clearance. The big radius in steering is a shame. It needs a lot of modifications to get acceptable.

      Alternative control means that second control mode in the app, where you drag the virtual truck around.

      @@searme Thx for the fast answer. So i heard rumors :-(. I like the model, but 300 Euro for this set is too much. Thx for the super review video. Best greetings from munich.

    Since the start this set looked overpriced and overhyped sadly :(

    I love technic and will buy this at some point but not at that price. Surely £200-220 would be a better price point.

    To those who love gearboxes, I gotta warn you, prepare your wallets, this looks like an ultimate parts pack.
