Rover stuck in MUN´s "Quicksands" ???


Recommended Posts

Hi, Im quite desperated with this rover, it was working perfectly on Kerbin, but once arrived to MUN, it doesnt move forward or backwards. The wheels move but looks like they spin forever. They seem to be somewhat sunk into the munar sand. I tried the following:

Brakes on/off

Lift off and relanding

Inverting steering

Pushing with RCS thrusters upwards and downwards

Decoupling the fuel tanks.

Toggle torque

Change Rover controls, change to docking mode.

Please, could you tell me what is my mistake, if there is any?;.; Thanks

The wheel mounts could be dragging in the dirt. Your picture shows them upside down, so you're losing a lot of ground clearance. You can also hit G, which will toggle rover wheel motors in and out of gear.

You have mounted your wheels upside down or sideways. Wheels only act as wheels by single point which is supposed to be touching the ground and you have it pointing to space.

This is how a correctly mounted wheels look like. Notice the suspension:
