Auto Credit Based on kampfer's All terrain vehicle!
I realised my precious version has a tendency to flip over due to the high cg.. this version has a up right mechanism using throttle, increase throttle to 100 percent when vehicle is upside down and still.. VTOL for throttle and pitch and roll for steering. . I've traded details for durability... Hopefully this takes you everywhere you want to go :).

@kampfer alsoj you're wrong about wider and larger wheels but only slightly. wider and larger wheels provide more grip and more weight to the wheels with out touching the suspension. it some what helps with stability but its own grip gained counters that. the way to make something more stable its to make it wider. and lower center of mass. While making sure the grip on your wheels isn't too strong to over come the natural stability of the vehicle.
as for a tail fin here's what you do. that little I'm assuming structural panel you have as a flipping mechanism. create 2 of those except as wings. and then nudge them inside the body so they do not stick out at all. they provide stability. with out being seen.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I was initially operating on the assumption that the wider wheels will make it harder to flip over but reducing it a tad as per your advice actually prevented the oversteer without affecting the performance. Power as well.. The only thing I can't add is a horizontal stabilizer as it would make it much harder to flip upright if it does flip over as my initial design had a tail fin, it's also prone to breakage. I'm grateful for your suggestion :)! @Typhlosion130
Well it certianlly is well built. the suspension is designed great. got a lot of travel. just good. now if you want to fix your flipping problem heres a few things you should do to do that.
1: down size your wheels. theyre a bit big and causing a bit of a over steer due to their size.
2: reduce how much power this thing has. its a bit to fast for its own good.
3: virtical wings help stabalize it horizontally.
other wise. very good job.
