Marcus I think the word "link" is a generic term that refers to a solid axle, pod type car that doesn't use a flex plate for the rear suspension. CRC/Speedmerchant made the term popular with their 12th scale. They have a center pivot (ball), 2 side "links" with damper tubes. We now see the tubes being replaced by a shaft through shock body shock.
My question to you is, when are you going to make a link mini-z F1?
