Actually the 200mm were raced in the late 80's.back then they were called 1/11tth and Associated raced them at the worlds -I believe.We also had several run in our series (FSEARA).As for the Carbon fiber links I think I would prefer them.Especially how they connect with the O ring. Having raced another brand and being hit they pop off. Having a small wing would prevent the link from being broken and I have the parts waiting.Most oval cars had these or still have them.
