Briefings
A remote-controlled wagon prototype named the DuneRover was tested by BougeRV, who found it surprisingly capable despite being a Kickstarter prototype. The vehicle demonstrated sufficient torque to flatten hills while carrying over 200 pounds of gear and excelled at traversing soft sand, offering an epiphany for gear havers. Production units are not expected to ship until February 2027, making this a preview of future capabilities rather than a finished product review.
