Here's the rover and launcher craft if you want to try it out for yourself:

I might have left a kerbal engineer build engineer part on the craft (used to see craft delta-v in the VAB). If you don't have kerbal engineer, you'll have to delete the part from the craft file before loading it.

Really good looking rover. I like the thruster on there.

Thanks!

I was aiming for something light-weight, yet safe for the kerbal driver.

The roof prevents kerbals from being squished when the thing inevitably flips over, and is probably the rover's most useful feature.

The thruster works alright, but is of limited utility when the rover flips onto its side rather than its back.

I just use a couple of SAS modules on my rovers. Activate them and drive around and they will keep you upright and in the exceptionally unlikely event that you flip over the SAS torque should be enough to flip you back over.
