I allready orderd it today 
It`s al lot of money for what Roelof discribed, but if it works (Salven drove it at our home track and was pretty fast!!!), then it will be worth every dollar.
I hope it will come soon, so i can try it before the next National.

DLS system
Wow that way to expensive. I was hoping to get this but come on $148??
That's 1/3 the price of the car for a few bearings , links & arms

For the guys who have never seen DLS in action:

Also, I saw in the pics from the worlds that all or most of the 733 cars had a "new" rear chassis brace set up that connects the rear two speed shaft blocks with the diff covers on the rear end. Can anyone shed some light on this? Was this for the worlds only? It looked like the right side two speed shaft block had just been made since it did not have the same silver anodizing as the left side? Just curious.

I will say this though. Last time I ran at my track I used a 45rears with 40fronts in an effort to gain more steering because I didn't have 37fronts. The rear end popped out a bit on exit of the turns but was manageable. However, if I had the DLS system in the rear, that rear end would have been planted the whole time. I also had excellent tire wear at the end of the 20min main as a result of using the 45s.
So think of it this way, what you lose in the purchase of the DLS can be gained from the savings in tire wear. Eventually after several sets, it can pay for itself.

Nice video but why is the car missing a screw in the shock tower? Lol
