This build is totally rad, and inspired me to create my own series of ultralight rovers. Been revisiting this design while looking at the new parts in recent DLC to make it smaller.

Love this vehicle. I just used its blueprint to learn how to use blueprints in SE, and was so excited to take it out. Unfortunately, it feels like maybe the suspension needs modification or somesuch, because trying to steer with the mouse is barely responsive, and trying to use A and D results in massive flipping wipeouts at even 20 or so m/s on an Earthlike planet. I swear, I was barely turning at all...just a slight curve and I flipped on a fairly flat surface...just grass. I've flipped it 3 times now, and I just don't understand how SE suspensions work yet, so I don't know what to do to keep this from happening. Is there something I'm missing? Does the gyroscope need to be adjusted? Do those settings get lost in the blueprinting process and get set to defaults?

Anyway, great vehicle. If I can figure out this issue, I'm going to try the Heavy Nomad after this. That looks great too.

These look so cool! The succinctness and aesthetics combo makes my head explode. You've randomly inspired me to get on creating some neato' ground rovers again!

I've kept the suspension stiffer to avoid scraping the ground from jumps and whatnot with these being so fragile and all. Thanks for the kind words :)

Fun to drive, but the suspension was a bit stiff. Overall good build, will drive again.

the new small hydrogen tank makes this kind of rover more practical to build

racing is the best way to improve ;)

I might have to take you up on that offer one day, though I don't have a race rover... yet ;)

If you ever feel like a race, let me know. I love playing with these micro rovers.

Real nice Rover build.
