- The Ugears NASA Lunar Rover also features twin folding seats for the astronauts, a dish antenna that can be folded and stored on the side of the Rover or deployed using a slot at the front left of the cab, and a model camera arm that can be placed at the front of the vehicle, so that mission control can see and record your adventures
- Engraving on the rover and its wheels represent all the electric wires on the original LRVs, while cut-outs and other design touches throughout the model make the Rover more lightweight and add to its realistic look and feel
