This is a fully functional version of NASA's MSL (Mars Science Laboratory) Curiosity Rover on Mars right now! It has working suspension like the real thing, a turning mast and a working arm! Have fun exploring!

This is a new upgraded version of my other rover. More info below instructions.

Instructions:
(1) Move Around
-Turn Off RCN (Same place where Action Groups are)
-Throttle Up, turns on engine
-Pitch Moves forward or backward
-Yaw steers

(2) Move Arm
-VTOL Down
-DO NOT PULL VTOL UP

(3) Move Mast
-Roll

Notes: The suspension still isn't perfect...I don't have the right parts and I don't wanna mod. Also, thanks to ququrooza for wheels. This is a new, upgraded version of my highly popular MSL Curiosity Rover. It was a bit old and could use some touch ups. Changes: Suspension, Wheels, Engine, Steering, Controls. This model can climb up SUPER steep hills. Try it out with the mountain near Murphy's Airport!
