42129 - 4x4 Mercedes-Benz Zetros

[1gor]

@R0Sch that sounds great, but there are usually 3 different sizes between (68.7, 81.6 and 94.8), so question is which one is it?

[mpj]

Well it looks they are 43.2 rims, so surely new tractor tires. Tractor lovers you will be very happy this year!

[1gor]

Well that is good news, but I wanted some 95tires...

i was disappointed when found that these are not Xerion tyres, so the scale is smaller than Unimog was :(

It's not so small with around 45 stud length and 20 wide. And hey, finally a trial truck after so many years!

This Zetros looks like a toned down version of a 42070 and a more expensive 42099. The bare bed is a letdown at the moment. I expected something more, like a mobile home.

Did anyone try to calculate tire diameter?

Should be around 75 mm like the new spiky tires since they also use the 43.2 mm rims.

Edit: I did a small downscaling in Studio. The new tire should be 78% of Xerion tire so around 83 x 34 mm to fit 43.2 rims.

Yes, it´s a 42070 EVO with proper suspension and new power functions but no crane. I am guessing it could have the gear shifter system from the Volvo 6x6 but yeah it´s pretty basic as they wanted to keep the weight down. Another set to wait for clearance sales to buy.

Looks like most of the functionality will be in the CONTROL+ app.

"Most" here is probably synonymous with "2 out of 2" (driving + steering).

 Yeah, so all the fearures (tilt sensor, speed, achienents) will come from the application, like in other sets.

At the beginning, I also thought so. When you look at the first wheel you will see that compared to the fender it is 13-14 studs in diameter. So it's about 104mm wheels. These are Xerion tires.
