can you post a picture of it? I haven't done too many of them but look at real life. Look at how the LEM and Moon Rovers were attached to the rockets

If you make the rovers fairly symmetrical you should be able to launch them in regular rocket fairings without too much trouble - just make sure that you add landing thrusters to land wheels down (skycranes being impossible due to the lack of strings or wires)

I create this rover with fairings and small docking ports to connect rover with the fairings

You could do it THE KERBAL WAY!

This is a very old pic and in that old version, aerodynamics and drag were poorly implemented. Just for laughs.

Ok Thank you very much! This was my try to transport a rover, and it wasnt even a bad way.

Do wheels just explode cause they reach structural limit or do they explode when the spring get completely depressed? What would happen if you stiffen the springs to max before dropping the rover?

Is it possible to lower springs to 0 and have the rover lower itself, like rolling into a cargo bay with a docking port on the belly, lower springs and have it sit down?

Have anyone messed with the springs while on mission?

I don't user rover wheels much so ...
