LUNAR ROVER III Project WIP

[JohannesESTONIA]

Hello, I just wanted to share with you my next MOC. I'm trying to build a Russian Lunar Rover, or actually just a machine that uses the same drive/suspension system as it

This is where I am now, I added wheels to both sides, for better balance. So, it has 16 wheel drive, and both axels individual steering and skid steering.

Below you can see the first testrun and under it the clip thst shows how the suspension system works.

I'm planning to add a arm to it, 3 pair of led lights and ofcourse all of it will be IR controlled. but I have no idea when will I have the time to finish it cause school will start soon and I need motors from my other MOC that also isn't finished yet:

My dad has been wanting me do build it for years, but I've never had enough parts, but now I do. So here are the moon rover MK I and II

P.S The texts are in estonian...

So, I just wanted to shere it with you, cause I've olnly seen one other video of a vechicle that uses the same system. What do you think? Any suggestions?

I like your Lunar Rover III, but it must be heavy with those two battery boxes:

[JohannesESTONIA]

Yes, it's really heavy, and it'l be alot heavier, I'll probably won't add a third one, but there will be at keast 4 extra motors and the arm and cabin But hopefuly it'l have enough power. It's driven by 2 xl motor geared down alot and steered by 2 l motors.

Hi,

I wonder if the other battery boxes might suit this better. There's the rechargable 8878 and 88000. 8881 battery boxes are heavy when full with batteries.

Great work by the way. I'm sure you will get there.

Yes, I'm thinking the same thing, that I will use one old bb for the base/drive/steer system and one aaa bb for the arm.
