Forgive me for saying, but it looks like it could flip if it catches some 'air' jumping off a hill.
Everyone who's completed this challenge did so with a stable rover that they could drive with their eyes closed.

My RCS is pretty powerful enough for quick stabilisation (even able to make it back to Earth using the RCS bug)

Yes yes, I don't doubt that.
But it will be exhausting keeping an eye on your rover... the rover should be stable enough to drive itself when you do nothing but hold down the button.:)

It could touch the ground when it goes over a hill and break, maybe. Only way to know is to test!

Well, I give up on stabilising. No matter how wide it is, it TIPS OVER. At least I saved this one from destruction via its RCS.

Edit: My landing site was pretty hilly and as I drove this at high speed over one hill, it tipped over and I had to quickly use the RCS.

I just placed solar panels on my rover so I could flip it back over... I didn't even test the assembly :p It was all put together in LLO for the first time...

Here's a similar version I threw together (in 1.35 PC), it uses solar panels for extra charge capacity (and armor?) and is a bit more receptice to getting rolled around. Notice the docking port on the right side for attaching to your lander. You could also add another docking port to the left side and make a crane type thing to land it...

The bug... the bug... which makes RCS use electricity in 1.35, which means I get infinite RCS without the cheats.

Yeah... But that's cheating... still, Id overlook that due to the nature of the challenge. The real thing here is that driving is best done WITHOUT RCS. It helps you in no way whatsoever.
