This is my first attempt at making at Lunar Rover but I am having a problem with keeping it on the ground. If you have any suggestions please put them in the comment section below.

@kansaspilot Good idea, Thanks for the suggestion! I will try that too.

@Rockets5001 best way to keep a rover on the ground on luna is to make it as heavy as possible, make its center of gravity as low as possible, and dont make it move too quickly.
If you absolutely have to have a small fast rover though, I guess you could always generate artificial downforce by placing small rocket engines on it to push it down.

@StarbornCelestial1 "building quadrocopters is quite fun" I literally read that in a British accent lmao

I don’t know if this will actually help, but maybe add a bending point that can bend both vertically and horizontally in the middle so it will go over bumps smoother.

@Rockets5001 Ah. Thanks! Glad you like it. I like it too. Building quadrocopters is quite fun.

@Rockets5001 I've made some if you want to borrow them. They're on my Eternity-3 rover.

I'd make custom wheels out of inlets if I were you. Then you can attach them to an electric motor.

It’s pretty hard to keep rovers on the ground on Luna.
But my best tip is to make it as heavy as possible. And a tip to keep it from rolling over is to keep the CG (Center of gravity) as low as possible.
Today I will be releasing the biggest rocket I have ever made by far.
