Goose Chase

Thought I would start a thread about these cars. I will post up some pics as soon as I get the body painted. Also any tips or tricks anyone has come up with. For those of you that are thinking about racing feel free to ask questions here.

Brett, have you tried adjusting the droop on the car yet? I had a heck of a time doing it on mine, especially in the front. It's hard to juggle setting ride height with the clips and setting droop with the chassis screws without screwing the other up. I'm just not used to touring car type setups and setting droop, etc. I find it(droop) confusing, and I don't have an accurate way of measuring it. Guesswork.

Anyway, I put the yellow springs in the front and the red in the rear as suggested by MikeR of Exotek. And the ride height is at 5mm. The battery is now in the rear position, per MikeR.

Brett,
I have metalic silver coming in Friday I think.


Also I will have a Goose 240z Fairlady coming in too. And a supply of the 21 turn motors I think Dave wants to run in the cars. I also am ordering some of the Sweep tires that fit these cars.

Dave are you useing abc or tamyia springs? Rob i am still trying to figure out what paint I am going with. I may be in fri for the silver.

Thats cool Brett, I believe Dave is using ABC springs. I remember him saying he ordered them.

Rob is correct; I am using the ABC spring set.

Can't wait to see your finished car Brett.

Dave

Asphalt with Jumps

Here are the pics

looks real good brett!!

Excellent job Brett; I love it!! Have you driven it yet?

I suggest you trim the tops of the body posts a little so they don't stick up so much. Other than that it's perfect!

more pics

I took the car out for a little while yesterday. I learned a few things. 1)The parking lots still have a lot of sand and stones on them. 2)The spur and pinion of the goose really like to pick up sand and stones. 3)Sand does not provide and traction. 4)I really need to get the car on some carpet to dial in the chassis.

What parking lot were you running on and are those the sweep tires?

I was at the HF high school lot. Yes those are the sweep tires.

They look cool have you thought about painting the wheels? Or atleast hitting them with a sharpie. Shapies come in a rainbow of color now

Some silver might look good. For now i need to clean the car and replace the pinion and spur. The pinion and spur are not completely shot but the sand did a number on them. I like 64p better anyway. I still need to glue up the ABC wheels and tires so I can compare them with the sweep. The sweeps are avalible in 3 different temps as well.

I have a Sweep order and an ABC order going out Monday so if you want anything particular let me know.

painted the wheels silver. They look pretty cool. I need to take some more pics soon.

How much do these kits run?

$160.17 I have one in stock now.


SOLD!!!!!

More coming Wednesday

Sold another Goose today That makes 5 so far that I know of. I also will have the venom motors and sweep tires available Tuesday or wednesday.

Anybody we know? Should be a good class. These cars look AWSOME when running. Just wish I could figure out some strange handleing issues.

It was Ryan from spec touring class.

Brett, what handling issues are you experiencing?
