The TR-2L Ruggedized Vehicular Wheel is a medium Rover wheel used for construction of land-based vehicles.

Usage

With a top speed of over 23 m/s, the TR-2L is the fastest wheel available. This makes it the ideal choice for rovers designed for long-distance exploration tours, manned or unmanned.

While active, it drains 0.7 Electric Charge per second (2520 E/hr).

Product description

The TR-2L is an extremely tough wheel made for mobilizing medium sized vehicles across a large variety of terrain. The extremely high traction tread ensures firm grip on any surface, providing reliability and reducing the chances of being used for high-speed tomfoolery.

Trivia

  • There is a warning label on the wheel's motor that reads, "WARNING: NOT CERTIFIED FOR REALLY COOL JUMPS." denoting that the wheel cannot absorb a great amount of impact and it is still slow, thus making it more suitable for driving on other planets except Kerbin.
