So in this challenge you must build a rover that can work under low gravity, im using a mod map for this so the vehicle will go under the real stress of low grav.
Rules:
Vehicle cannot use thrusters for downward thrust, they dont work on the map.its only low grav, so your vehicle wont float away
Vehicle is "unmanned", make your cabin either on a seperate platform or seal the cabin within the rover, out off sight
The vehicle must be able to take an impact force of at least 40mph and not break, the vehicle will be jumping off the moon base and must take the impact in order to move on
This vehicle in post will be the benchmark rover to compare with
The vehicle will be rated by these specs:
Survivability: how much can it take before breaking? 0/10
Speed: how fast can it move across the surface? 0/10
Manuverability: how well is it at keeping to the ground? 0/10
Design: was it just thrown together or did you really built it with effort for maximum functionality 0/10
Extras: what else did you add, any special parts, rock claw? Solar panel? Flag planter? You decide
The 1st place winner will recieve a spotlight (if possible) and 3 upvotes. 6 upvotes if spotlight is not available
2nd place gets 3 upvotes
3rd gets 2 upvotes
All people who perticipates in this challenge will get 1 upvote for effort and joining in
Vehicle MUST be an succsessor
I will post a second version without the mod for non mod users such as ios. Just hold on.

@dootdootbananabus look i love arguing with people but im getting bored, either you build a rover for the challenge or go do something else, cause im done arguing
@dootdootbananabus those arnt wings, thats pressured gas and they dont use those for aerodynamics, they use those for turning the spacecraft, but this is simpleplanes, rcs that this game has dont effect the wings
@dootdootbananabus ok but we dont have air for the wing to work, it uses air to create high and low pressure zones, high under the wing, low above the wing, without air, the wing is useless, thats why airplanes can only go so far up into the sky in real life, cause the thinner the air, the less pressure there is to lift and in space there is no air so no lift, and so that means the wing wont work, you can try but its not ganna work on the map im using
@dootdootbananabus The moon does not have atmosphere, otherwise we wouldnt need space suits, and i dont know where your head is but this is simpleplanes, we dont have pressure generators, and we arnt building planes, we are building moon rovers
@dootdootbananabus Dude its space, do you really think airfoils are ganna work in a no pressure zone, and im not using a moon base, im using a moon map that has a "base" on it, the vehicle that comes with this post does it just fine without airfoils, no that they would work.
@dootdootbananabus Im not ganna say, everyone is ganna be blind on what map, for fairness for the people that use ios, so you build it and hope for the best
@dootdootbananabus it says under part count, and there is a non mod version of tgis challenge in the succsesors list
