Designing a rocket capable of launching my rover?

[Vorox]

After I placed a probe on Minmus' orbit and a landed a probe lander there I want to send a rover. But the problem is I can't launch the said rover. I spent a lot of time trying to create something to let the rover land and I did it but now I have no idea how to launch it. Pictures are here so just tell me what to do. Or if you would be so kind and build it for me i can upload the .craft.

Lessee.......that whole assembly weighs about nine tonnes, give or take. Right?

First thing I'm going to say is that the roundified RCS tanks aren't going to do you any good without any RCS. Unless I'm missing the ports somewhere.

I'm going to recommend putting a BZ-52 on the underside of the rover for the sole purpose of giving you an attachment surface to a booster. Make sure to place it directly under the assembly's center of mass or it'll tilt and be a royal pain to fly. Stick a stack separator on that and you're golden. You'll probably have to strut the whole thing down to the booster, of course. Then you should be able to boost it with one of Temstar's Zenith II or Zenith III boosters. I'd recommend the III, especially if your side tanks there are going to be solely for landing (i.e. if you don't want to use them for the trans-Minmus burn) and you want to add a transfer stage.

Thanks alot for advice! I'll try that out. I put the RCS tanks just to create counterweight because otherwise the side tanks would crash into the rover, but since minmus has way lower gravity I'll just remove them.

The radial decouplers should provide sufficient force to blow the tanks away from the rover as is. At least, I think so...have you tried that system out on Kerbin both with and without the tanks?

[Vorox]

I did and tanks made just a little difference. But it's not a problem at all. Even on Kerbin I could drive away before they collapse so it should be fine on Minmus. I tried those Zenith lifters and I have much trouble with controlling the ship because my capsule is placed horizontaly and because of that, the navball is rotated in a strange way (I'm facing 180 degrees at launch, and I can't see my paragrade). With that It's really hard to control and I think I won't be able to perform manouvers.

EDIT: Yay! I managed to place the first capsule vertically while keeping the rover horizontally and giving it second capsule. Navball is back to normal! Yes!

EDIT 2: Nevermind. I give up. No matter how hard I try, it just won't work. I wanted to have fun but the game won't let me.

Stop playing once you've become frustrated. The problem is that you're not letting yourself have fun. You've become so focused on a goal that you've forgotten to enjoy the game.
