Jeb's new truck

Recommended Posts

A long time ago my brother and I played with B9 and pretended we ran a daycare for Kerbals (yeah). The first thing we did was to build a huge school bug that held at least fifty Kerbals inside. It looked a lot like the pictures in the OP, but unfortunately I don't have any screenshots.

We're weird. :P

Wow, I'll bet she turns on a dime. Is that one giant procedural tank as a body?

Yep, had to keep part count as low as possible since it's only 2.7km away from KSC and therefore loaded sometimes.

Plus I love PP because there is no reason to add (and then calculate!) multiple tanks if you only want a certain total amount. Should be stock imho, flat out.

However, it is surprisingly speedy, 10m/s top speed. Turns good as well, but destroys about half of the wheels for which you need a lvl 3 engineer to repair, so straight lines are preferred :wink:

Sometime in .20 or something I tried to build something like that, alot shorter though.

Wasn't stable, fell apart trying to drive it off the launch pad, and couldn't get it to orbit, so I ditched it.

Now what are you going to do with that monster?

It's sitting at KSC and can be used as source for MKS/OKS logistics transfers to Kerbin orbit :)

I wrote myself a tiny plugin which refills this monster automatically (if I can afford the refill...).

My heaviest rover is my crawler transporter when loaded. 200 something tons when loaded. Carries 2 karbonite drillers, and a mobile karbonite refinery. It can also carry them when fully loaded but it requires some care for braking and slopes since there are no hardpoints to secure the vehicles.

Crawler

Mass: 60T

Parts: 267

With modifications, it can float:

I once had a 1000 ton rover.

It was launched in small pieces that could drive for themselves, then, I landed them in the Mun in a small region, I docked the pieces, and I had a 1000 (a bit more) ton rover.

wow :D

now do it in Kerbin gravity and post pics for extra rep! :)
