I can't seem to get RoveMax XL3 to turn

[Xyphos]

The super-big rover wheels, I have 6 of them on each side of my giant mobile drilling rig on Minmus, but shortly after landing, I discovered that it can only move forwards or backwards and refuses to turn. any suggestions? I'm using 1.1.2 btw.

Those wheels only seem to respond to turning commands when the vessel is being controlled from a forward-facing control point. If it's being controlled from the cupola it won't turn because that faces upwards. You could add a docking port facing forward somewhere convenient and control it from there.

Just control it from one of the klaws.  That should work.

Happy landings!

Your rover is too narrow. These wheels turn like tanks do, i.e. one side goes forward and the other backward.
