Buggies (with Mun transport)

[Darren9]

Someone asked for a moon buggy I'd made so here they are, Lots of mods are needed - I think I've listed them all. A ship that can get the small buggy to Mun is included.

You'll need the following mods installed to load the .craft's

KSPX-parts-expansion

KAS-kerbal-attachment-system

DEMV-mark-3-ex

Quantum-strut

Improved-trusses-robaus-warehouse

Racing-slicks-robaus-warehouse

Sceppies-0-5m-minipack

Suspensatron (needs the included older Mechjeb .dll to work)

InfiniteDice-Strong-Struts-Pack

And, there's one more, from a pack that doesn't seem to exist since the forum mishap. OI_Truss_Corner from the OI_Truss_Pack. I've put that single part in the zip, put it in your parts folder.

The buggies launch from the SPH, adjust suspension height as necessary, to enter/exit them lower the Suspensatrons so the car body touches the ground, then a Kerbal can just jump in.

The Ship launches from the VAB, drive the small buggy underneath it and attach the KAS in docked mode, then raise it and activate the strut guns to secure it. It's quite low thrust for the Mun landing, I wouldn't approach too fast.

For the Large buggy I've made some further edits for firmer suspension and that V8 supercharged feeling. Not necessary for normal operation but a bit more fun.

The "mracingWheel3" part has upgraded torque, edit the following in it's part.cfg

torqueCurve

{

key = 0 325 0 0

key = 25 125 0

key = 37 17 0 0

key = 35 0 0 0

}

The "DRSuspensatron.75" part has a stiffer spring, edit the following in it's part.cfg

jointSpring = 40
