LEGO Technic CONTROL+: 4×4 XTreme Off-Roader (42099)

At the beginning of this month LEGO released the very first Technic set compatible with the new CONTROL+ app. The 4×4 XTreme Off-Roader is powered by an advanced Smart Hub with 3 motors and controlled via the new app (compatible with Apple iOS  and  Android smartphones). This new system enables super-precise movement and functionality, while delivering endless authentic digital play combinations with authentic sound effects.

Users can choose from different control screens to drive forward, reverse, steer, accelerate, brake and traverse obstacles. You can also get real-time feedback, such as a speed and tilt log or test out your skills in the app’s challenges and achievement section.

The 4×4 X-treme Off-Roader comes with high-rise independent suspension, large wheels with chunky tires and a fresh color scheme with intricate sticker detailing. Its complex gear mechanisms and technologies introduce LEGO builders to advanced elements of engineering, while improving reaction times, cognitive thinking and creative problem-solving skills.
