Description
The Manned Mars Rover is an all-terrain planetary explorer with 6x6 all-wheel drive, a spring-powered motor and fully sprung independent suspension.
The storage bay for tools or rock samples holds the key for the spring motor. Set the start/stop slide switch at the rear left to “Stop”, wind the motor with several turns, close the bay and switch to “Start”. The six wheels absorb bumps through the independent suspension, while rubberized treads give grip on smooth surfaces.
A swivel joint links the cab and body, the front wheels steer, and the forward-set front axle improves climbing ability and stability. At the rear, a ramp folds down; the antenna on top rotates 360 degrees and tilts up and down. A project for several evenings – 562 parts, about 8 hours.
Key features:
- Cab for two astronauts with laser-engraved dashboard
- Engraved solar panels on the hatch
- 6x6 drive with independent suspension
- Swivel joint between cab and body
- Folding ramp and 360° rotating antenna
- Sticker with the official NASA insignia for the right-side panel

Built to be shown
From 562 parts to an art object for your shelf – built with your own hands.
Laser-cut edges, open mechanics, visible wood grain: every part is laser-cut from plywood so precisely that it fits without glue. Gears, levers and shafts stay visible – the mechanism is part of the design.
Designed by UGEARS, a Ukrainian brand, produced in the EU. We have been bringing the models to Germany as the exclusive importer since 2015 and ship from Germany. If a part breaks while building, spare parts are free.
