Having the ability to adjust the upper link length has been extremely valuable in our testing with the new Speedmerchant car. For the two months prior to Vegas a handful of guys on the stock team tried everything under the sun and we found that tuning the upper link was the key to corner speed and a HUGE setup aid.
All that testing certainly paid off with 4 Rev.5's in the stock A-Main and of course the win. Steve Boice's car literally never slowed down and held an amazing amount of speed through the flowing/partial steering areas of the track. I can say without a doubt having that extra degree of adjustment was paramount to the overall success of the car. The new Speedmerchant front end actually has 3 different locations (image below) available for both linkages which really let you make some big changes that you just can't duplicate on anything else right now.

It's great to see people trying things again in 12th scale, that car looks very interesting. Great blend of ideas sir!
