Description

Why not re-invent the wheel?

Update 12022.9.20: Made wheels prettier.

Version 2.1: Inverted Chassis direction and tested performance in Paralex mod.

With its rocker-bogie suspension this rover can drive up 45° slopes on Kerbin! You will need to use active suspension beyond 30° slopes as well as reaction wheels and SAS. Amount of torque needed for the wheels is highly planet and slope dependent. Driving Speeds beyond 10 m/s is not recommended, in fact it drives kind of floaty beyond 5 m/s. For rock climbing I do not advise speed beyond 2 m/s, 1 m/s is best at 1/3 torque on Mun or Duna.

Other Keybinds:
Throttle: Wheel torque
Translate F/B: Wheel RPM
Translate U/D: Angle of active suspension.

A stock rocket called Exo-Mars Chassis 2.1. Built with 175 of the finest parts, its root part is mk2LanderCabin.v2. Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.12.3.
