42158 Alternate: Mobile Transmission Unit

An alternate for the 42158 Mars Rover. The set has a rather unusual inventory, with LOTS of knobs and U-joints. I here proposed a model built around a brick-made differential and a transmission with a fake (electric) engine. I managed to use all knobs but two! The set also features some nice functions: a central articulation for steering and an opening trunk to deploy some communication material and equipment. The front axle is also pendular.
