Description

A stock rover called Crawler. Built with 246 of the finest parts, its root part is mk2LanderCabin.v2.

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.7.2.

Crawler is a tracked vehicle designed to work in most difficult terrain. While it may not be as fast as wheeled rovers it makes up for this by being able to go over the terrain that would stop wheeled rovers. It can climb slopes that are inclined over 20 degrees, also it works quite well in low gravity.

Maximum speed is over 7 m/s, but I don’t recommend going faster than 6.5 m/s because it will break the tracks, impact tolerance of the decouplers used for the track links is only 8 m/s. If you’re going across relatively flat terrain your speed should be 5-6 m/s, over a difficult terrain reduce the speed to about 3-4 m/s to make sure you don’t break the tracks.

To start:
- press 0 to deploy the tracks,
- use H and N to control the engine torque,
- use I and K to control the tension of the tracks,
- you can turn using the yaw,
- by pressing 3 or 4 you can reverse the direction of the left or right track, you can use this to turn the vehicle on the spot, just reduce the speed and engine torque before attempting to do this.
