The RoveMax Model M1 is a medium rover wheel used for construction of land-based vehicles.

Usage

The M1 is situated between the small, fragile S2 wheel and the large, ruggedized TR-2L. It is about halfway between the two in weight, energy consumption, speed, stress tolerance, and impact resistance, and its braking torque is considerably closer to that of the TR-2L. It also appears between the two in the tech tree, at level 7 rather than S2's level 5 or the TR-2L's level 8.

While active, the RoveMax Model M1 wheel drains 1.0 Electric Charge per second (3600 E/hr).

Product description

After years of outcry against the lack of proper powered wheels, a small startup company named Kerbal Motion was founded and delivered just what the public wanted - the RoveMax Model 1 powered rover wheel.
