It origionally had a prop and rudder to make it amphibious but it drained the batteries like crazy and sent the COM off balance. besides, i doubt theres much water to plqy with on other planets. anyhoo, this beauty has quite a few tricks up its sleeves. its been built as compact as possible for it to be easily stored in a cargo bay. it has a set of parachutes in case you have no choice but to drop it. the craft comes with two different sources to recharge the battery which is either a generator or the two solar panels (th main battery has a pretty big capacity) itz very stable and is capable at turning at around 55m/s without the rover flipping over. the wheels.. now that is a complicated story.. i had to design it so it can fold in for storage purpose. however the wheels wont allow me to interact with any switches or MFD in 1st person view due to the wheels interact in a funny way when sitting (inside a landing gear) otherwise it performs great and can do some pretty decent speeds for its size and 'not so fragile syspension.

I have updated it for the new Juno version. There's no more ridiculous bouncing

Well, it was an early attempt with compact and low part designs. Unfortunately I lost the model when I upgraded my device. You can expect a mk3 soon
