Manned Mars Rover
Assemble me. Explore the Red Planet with Me!
People have a love affair with cars, so it’s no surprise that not long after Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon (Apollo 11, July 21, 1969), astronauts David Scott and James Irwin were driving around the lunar surface in a "moon buggy" (Apollo 15, July 31, 1971). The most scientifically valuable moon rocks never would have been collected without the greater range of exploration enabled by a vehicle. The LRV ("Lunar Roving Vehicle") was an impressive piece of engineering—designed to bear twice its 209 kg weight, withstand micrometeoroids traveling faster than bullets, and reliably operate in 500°F temperature swings. Three LRVs remain in long-term parking on the lunar surface.
Imagine the future of space exploration with Ugears' Manned Mars Rover, an all-terrain planetary explorer featuring 6x6 all-wheel drive, a cab for two astronauts, a spring-driven motor, a swivel joint between cab and body, and fully sprung independent suspension. The rover includes a storage bay for tools, equipment, or rock samples. Laser-engraved details enhance realism—just look at the cab’s dashboard and the solar panels on top of the hatch. A sticker with the official NASA insignia can be placed on the rover’s right-side panel. NASA insignia and identifiers provided and used with permission of NASA.
Manned Mars Rover features:
- Spring-powered motor
- 6x6 all-wheel drive with independent suspension
- Swiveling joint between cab and body for manoeuvrability
- Rubberized wheels for enhanced grip and obstacle clearance
- Folding rear ramp and top-mounted 360° rotating antenna
- Laser-engraved details including solar panels
- NASA sticker included
DIY wooden model features:
- Pre-laser-cut parts on wooden boards
- Assembles without glue or tools
- Step-by-step instructions in 11 languages
- Ready to paint (paint not included)
- Free spare parts upon request
An excellent puzzle! It is far more complex than I had thought, and that made it really fun to build! It runs perfectly, and fun to show. Highly recommended!
Model #4 THIS was fun. I took three weeks step by step every other evening. Some of the instructions need to be looked upen several times to really understand and I had to dis- and reassemble one or the other step. I really like the accuracy of the gears and the spring solition as a motor. The rubber drive of the locomotive might have to be replaced some time. Upcoming model is the Hurdy Gurdy
Un réel plaisir à faire ce montage et le résultat est extra
It was gift for my Husband
ce mars rover habité est super sympa a faire ! je le recommande ! love ugears !
Pas de problème particulier pour assembler ce magnifique puzzle 3D.
This was easier than I expected. The pieces were very easy to remove and fit as expected. The rover ran down the hallway and is very entertaining. Thanks. p.s. I got the puzzle from Amazon as I received a gift card.
Difficoltoso l'azionamento della molla e il relativo movimento del rover
It was fun and challenging to build but when I finished it I winded it up and the metal spring stopped working and clogged up all the gears.
this was given as a present and was very well received.
Putting Ugears projects together is a marvelous experience. The engineering is ingenious. The exactitude and intricacy of the designs are mind bending. I just hope Ugears doesn’t run out of ideas before I have built them all.
A 1/4 off the through so far challenging but enjoyable
A masterpiece in design! The parts all fit very well together and the instructions are well thought out. All in all it's been great to work on and see the finished product. Thanks UGEARS!
Very fun to build and came out nice but some steps are unclear and require slow and careful building. You also need to put a lot of wax otherwise it will get stuck. Would be nice if there would be more wax in the box
It was very impressived the way it was designed and engineer.
Grandson loved constructing this
.
Into the production of my 9th 'toy', I remain stunned over the engineering, detail of product, and perfectionism built into each kit.
Mazel tov,
c
one of the best to build.
Can't wait to build this rover. We have the others.
Bonjour,
Juste une remarque. Il est difficile de dégrapper les pièces surtout sur les plaques relativement épaisse. On est jamais très loin de la casse.
J'utilise un scalpel pour couper les liens mais là c'est quasiment impossible car ils font toute l'épaisseur de la plaque.
Pourquoi ne faites vous pas des liens moins épais ?
Cordialement,
This is a superb model. Very skilfully designed. The suspension is great, as is the door that opens and snaps shut. Also the clockwork motor with winder hidden under more doors.
Before construction I coloured most parts, not with paint, which would be too thick, but with special felt tip pens whose ink was absorbed by the plywood and most items clicked together OK. Some sanding was required too.
All in all, the painting took over 9hrs and construction over 13hrs.
I'm 78 and starting on a marble run tomorrow!
A very large and powerful model, the suspension of each wheel looks cool, it overcomes all kinds of boards, sticks and pebbles easily. Great model! I will wait for the expansion of the space theme, I want a rotating rocket :). You can watch the review on the Incredible Gears channel.
Leider müssen wieder einige wenige Gummis verbaut werden. Die Gummis sind jedoch gut zugänglich und lassen sich dadurch leicht austauschen.
Nach meiner Ansicht sind von allen kritischen Teilen ausreichend Ersatzteile vorhanden.
Viel Liebe zum Detail, tolles Design und eine feine Mechanik zeichnen dieses Modell aus.
Die hohe Qualität und Passgenauigkeit aller Bauteile beeindrucken mich immer wieder.
Das Modell hat mich echt begeistert und ich kann es nur empfehlen!
