Munar Rover Mk1 "Surge"

[Rockhem]

The Surge rover is a rover i have developed to use at my munar base (in construction), i will post a pic of it there when the base is completed and it is delivered. The Surge rover is a battery powered rover that is meant for a bit of realism, not having solar panels everywhere, but being battery powered, and meant to be refilled by a hub.

No docking port; how do you get more electricity onto it when it runs dry?

I haven't fitted the port yet, but I will.

I am interested to know where the docking port will go, I can't see a good place on the rover for it.

I think you could have another design for this concept. Don't take me wrong, but batteries on the body, over the wheels axis? they should be the lowest possible to keep the center of gravity low.

The batterys, really have negligible weight, compared to the wheels and panels.

I just decided to remove the docking port, that can be readded by the person who downloads it.
