Would love some feedback!

This is my first build, a buggy to explore Luna's surface. Had to redo this a bunch of times and I know it's not perfect, would love to hear how I can improve. The buggy wasn't really thought out at all as a payload, so this is definitely cumbersome and over-engineered.

First stage should take you comfortably to a 100 km orbit. It will deorbit itself after separating. Second stage will take you to Luna and deorbit. Landing stage for touchdown, I found this stage quite unstable.

After switching back to the Buggy, AG1 is headlights, AG2 the wheels, wheel throttle is on pitch control (W/S). The wheels are way too strong for Luna's gravity so this thing is always in the air. Slider 1 moves camera up, Slider 2 pans it. AG9 is solar panels.

    @bubgigant I would try to make it, your talent, I'd rather you do it , and at a droo nought scale as manned .. plus that suspension would be a first on game, probably hot. Compact is good,

    @XionmassResearchDevt thanks for the tip, cantilever suspension would definitely make it more compact, might try that for a future rover

    It looks like a Traxxas rc car .. I like.. look up cataliver suspension.. most common example is the Traxxas Revo you might take advantage of the unique suspension and remake it on SR2..
