"A mechanical showpiece with a real RC rock-crawling heart, the Zetros earned its Mixed Reviews BrickScore of 62 by dividing buyers between those who love the torque and Control+ features and those who expected a realistic-looking replica worth $330."
The Zetros Trial Truck carries a BrickScore of 62, landing it squarely in Mixed Reviews territory, and the numbers bear that out: critics frequently flagged the steep $329.99 price tag and the truck's departure from a realistic trial-truck form factor. Owner sentiment is split in a revealing way: Amazon buyers average 4.7 stars across nearly 700 ratings, yet LEGO.com's own platform tells a different story with only a 3.94 average and a 69% would-recommend rate, and LEGO's internal value-for-money signal lands at just 3.4 out of 5. Fans who treat it as a pure RC rock-crawler toy love the mechanical complexity and raw torque, while those who paid full price for a scale Zetros replica came away disappointed.
Where they split: The most notable split is between casual Amazon reviewers (4.7 average) and buyers on LEGO's own platform (3.94 average, 69% recommend). One subset of owners loved the set unconditionally for its play value and mechanical features; another segment, including critics who evaluated it against other flagship Technic sets, found the price, scale accuracy, and tire quality inadequate. One owner's comment captures the divide well: 'A lot of people were critical of this set due to its price and not being a realistic truck trial model, but to be honest its a great set with lots of mechanical functions.'

The Zetros is a mechanically impressive Technic showpiece that thrills builders with its locking differential and 4-motor climbing performance, but owners are sharply divided over its very slow top speed and whether the $300 price is justified.
