Unfortunately, that linkage never made it past the build season. We had some major controls issues dealing with the transition between when the link was compressed and when it started to expand. We ended up removing the adjustable link and creating a new lower link with a different pivot point that provided the same motion, at our first event of the season. I think it ended up being a lot more robust too. I am not sure the adjustable link would have held up to the abuse.
It was a decent idea, but the execution was lacking a little bit.
148's 2011 adjustable 4-bar linkage had much better execution.
