Title: Supergoose Build
Post by: Mongoose on January 06, 2010, 05:38:35 PM: You guys could do with something new to critique.

This is my Supergoose project, based on the Mongoose design with a bit of inspiration from Edge and Rorty.

14" of ground clearance and 12" of travel

As this is all built out of my head, I'm interested if you guys think it will work (I do know I've got too much scrub)

Cheers,
Kev

I believe that it is the distance between the two red lines at the ground. Difficult to make it zero especially with front brakes without having excessive KPI.

Also difficult to get camber gain without a decent KPI..........

Post by: fabr on January 08, 2010, 09:17:40 AM: You need to set or mock up caster/camber before you start determining a arm lengths and mounting points. Also I really don't want to burst your bubble but if indeed the pic above is as it looks like with the red lines you are going to have a very,very badly behaving car.They MUST be more like the green ones. Better to fix it now.
