I don't know about the route but those are some cool rivers (that's a whole lot of RTGS)

Thx. The one on the right was built to fit in a Mk3 bay, and is one of the worst driving rovers I've ever built. Potatus2 is part of my ongoing Jool V attempt, since I'm visiting every biome on Tylo, might as well do a full circumnavigation (only like 50% more driving than biomes, so I'll kill two birds with one potatus.

 

It has all those RTGs on for a reason - when cruising, the rover starts to recharge, extending range without charging.

Is this a good Tylo route? (in black, red was bits i chopped off)

Tylo is really quite flat apart from the crater rims and I think almost any route will do - and you've already decided you want to see the craters (as did I). Elcano isn't all pressing forwards and waiting, to put it mildly, but quite a chunk of Tylo is...

Well, I'm doing it during a Jool V, so hitting all the major craters is needed for science.

Hopefully this goes better than any driving I've done on Eve - used RoveMax and LEV wheels - did not go well....
