Question Ad Astra moon rovers using a Model A chassis?

Is it just me or are the Ad Astra moon rovers using a Model A chassis? See the clip below. I think I see a front wishbone when the pirates shoot off both front wheels of a rover.

Talking Re: Ad Astra moon rovers using a Model A chassis?

Headlights seem to be late 31 stainless steel...cannot make out if the reflectors are polished alloy or silvered.

You might be right. Those pirate rovers certainly seem to have some Russian made GAZ-A characteristics.

No whitewalls?

Plus he's driving on the wrong side must have been designed in the UK.

Nice after-market coilover shocks.

I don't know, I think they are using a CGI chassis.

Those cool fenders keep the moon mud from messing up your pretty white suit. How high do those things bounce at 1/6 G when you hit a bump in the road?

Hope they opted for a Berg rather than a Brassworks.
