Dune Bike - Dune Chaser

[Levelord]

Greetings fellow Kerbonauts!

Have you ever wanted a fast bike to ride across the vast lands of Duna? Well the Dune Chaser may be the thing for you! It is capable of a max speed of 40m/s without breaking (on Duna), due to the new shock absorbers provided by our trusty radial decouplers! (Warranty void if decoupled).

Now built in with a six cylinder engine and a radial ant engine for maximum power!!!

The Dune Chaser also has advanced reaction wheels that enables the bike to keep steady at high speed, and also provides a means to flip the bike back on it's wheels should it accidentally flip over.

A Youtube video of my latest Dune Chaser mission showcasing the new suspension system:

Hotkeys:

1) Toggle lander engines

2) Toggle rear brakes on Dune Chaser. (prevents forward flips)

(Warning: Only travel in a straight line at high speeds, and engage SAS system)

If you enjoyed the Dune Bike, please check out my other works like the Robotic Rock Sampler and the Amphibious VTOLSSTO

Looks awesome.

[Boex]

Fantastic, I love the detail on the engine!

[Exothermos]

Great video, awesome bike! I think your lander/ crew return vehicle was even more impressive than the bike.

is it just me or does this have a tron look?

Exactly what I thought!

Not only was that bike sexy as hell and looked awesome zooming over the hills, but that video was perfect. You sir or ma'am win at Kerbal Space Program.

I love that bike design, you've inspired me to create a quick and nimble rover now too, though possibly a different design.

Actually, I thought that your lander idea was most ingenious.. Very well done..

If Batman was in KSP...

[Santoron]

Was drooling over this in the rover thread in the general discussions board. Thanks for sharing, this is going to Duna pronto!

Gotta give credit where it's due, that bike is excellent. Video was great too, nice job.

[Sirine]

Downloaded your craft. Thanks for sharing.

The most badass thing i've seen in a while

[bounty-999]

absolutely brilliant my hats off to you i can see myself having some fun of this

[Levelord]

Wow, I'm really surprised by the response to the bike! I'm also more surprised by the interest in the lander and return vehicle (I just slapped together parts to balance the CoM)

Please, feel free to share your adventures

[automcdonough]

I like it. Nice vid too.

[sammoe]

45 m/s = About 100 Mile/Hour. Impressive!

[Kaelen]

What part is that coming out of the "Pistons?" Where the spark plug would be. I can't figure out how you did that.

[speedboiae86]

That sir, is one badass looking bike!!

You could download the craft and dismantle it

It's made of ladders...

[Batfire]

Very nice job on this setup.
