Included in the new version is an independent-suspension system for rolling over small craters, an extra axle for the trailer (with limited pivoting ability) along with a wider spread for the wheels, and beautiful, showy lunar-regolith-gray tires. Drivers of this new rig report a much smoother ride than the ol’ ‘73, with less tendency to high-center in broken terrain.

I like the changes. The extra axle, and the little changes around the wheels, looks better to me than V 1.0.

   Thanks for the comments on V1.0 of this MOC. I really like the gray wheels, but I wonder if black wouldn’t be more true to Classic Space... And provide more contrast with the gray ground.

I think gray looks o.k., but next to all those classic space vehicles with black wheels, black might look better.

   Still thinking about a modular crane for the back... :o)

That would be a cool addition.
