rover wheels

[Cannon]

this isn't the first time i'm creating a rover but i just can't remember how to solve this problem.

my wheels aren't symmetrical.

i tried in both vab and sph but it ended up doing the same thing.

I just use RoverDudes Karibou mod, the wheels are absolutely great and have nodes on them so makes symmetry a breeze. For stock however I think the solution is using the cubic strut and placing the wheels on one side at a time, could be wrong though. Good luck!

I'm going to hope you forgot to use symmetry by pressing x.

It shouldn't end up doing the same thing. In either the VAB and SPH you have either mirror or radial symmetry. The only difference between the SPH and VAB is which one gets default preference (SPH -> Mirror, VAB -> Radial). You can use the R key to change between them in either editor.

Rover wheels are best done in Mirror symmetry so they remain facing the same direction, but this means you can only place 2 at a time.

no, i don't think i have alzheimer yet

thanks, you're the man !

Some stock wheels can be tricky to place correctly. A rover can sometimes look fine in the SPH, but grounds out when you try and take it for a spin. I've found an angled girder segment between the Rover body and wheel can help. It might also be worth using the subassemblies screen so you can get the same set up front and back (assuming you're using mirror symmetry)
