Autonomous Rover v1.0 - With ArduPilot 2.6

Project: Rover v1.0
Car platform: Maisto Rock Crawler Pro Series 4ws
Pilot: Ardupilot 2.6
FW: ArduRover v2.51-beta
Communication link Car: LTE modem + raspberry pi zero w + ovpn
Communication link GCS: Mobile hotspot + ovpn

Car and GCS are both connected to my home via VPN. At home I have also one raspberry pi as VPN server.

Car's selection is not the greatest. It's body is basically held together with suspension springs. These springs allow the center body to tilt to one side, especially with the high CG GPS antenna. It was the problem even with the balanced weight. With the current weight placement, the car over turns to the left, every time it "touches" the steering wheel, after what it slowly recovers with the smaller right hand turns.

For signals translation I used arduino nano between apm and maistro board.
