Ore-detector car

Description
Automobile i wanted to make with wheels attached to pistons, but turned out developers still did not made it possible to control wheels attached to pistons! So i just put 4 athmoshperic thrusters bellow and gyroscope somewhere inside, turned out not so bad as i was afraid, but far from perfect and barely usable (and you can easily flip yourself upside-down, especially on the speed above 40 m/s).

It's works with batteries and hydrogen generator, but i guess i had to put a hydrogen-producer as well... :X
You can expand pistons to make your car higher, can even walk bellow!
I put some ore detector inside so you can use this car to scout for materials, also you can put your friend on the rear if he trust you with his life enough.

You have to use mouse to turn by gyroscope, this is the only way to turn this car i know (you can increace the power of gyroscope to turn it easier, but you will be easily flipping yourself upside-down on the move then!). I heard there is some code for programable block to make attached to pistons wheels turn as it supposed to be, but i did not seen this code.
P.S.- with help of gyroscope you also can lift your car's nose up/down.

While I like the idea of this, is anyone able to get the wheels to move and turn?

When I used a projector, the pistons and wheels didn't show up, so I had to add them manually but I cannot get the ship to move or turn with the wheels.

If I turn on the atmospheric thrusters it will move forward and backward, but not turn.
