World launch will be really short on MYTSN. Maybe M7H is able to get some picks of RV car or some guy from Germany is able to get some pics of MS car at the German Champ.

I am always wonder (I just brought myself a used 950R)........what is the advantage of the old rear upright design by adjusting the rear camber, you have to play with the lower 2 pivot balls...........?
And now, 960, will use the more obvious design (like 710 and most of the TC), adjusting the upper (single) pivot ball and can adjust the rear camber....
What take SERPENT that long to figure that out...? I am sure I am not the first one that would like to see that rear upright design....but isn't that the most direct/efficient way to adjust the rear camber...?
But still, MRX4, Evolva 2005, Delta........they are all using the old Serpent type design....there must be something good about that design....just wondering...

it's the same on the 705, witch was a car made when the 710 was already in development.... serpent just wasn't happy enough with the design, and so the 705 didn't have it.. i think the 950 doesn't have it because serpent wasn't happy with the 3th pivot... witch is a good reason to not use it yet...

Adjusting rear bodymount tips
It would make sense that those screw-in adjusters at both ends of the rear bodymount are there so you can make sure the body is in full contact with the bodymount at rest.
Sometimes, depending on the body that you run, the body does not contact the end pads of the bodymount. This can cause the body to deform downwards at speed, which may result in the body scraping on the ground or contacting the wheels.
With these adjustors, you can probably adjust them so they touch the underside of the body when at rest, to ensure full contact with the bodymount.
Just my thoughts...
