I will go on a Google run and try to prove it!

One of the BK2's most significant new features is its management of "friction dynamics," to use Team Losi's term. The BK2's MIP CVDs are significantly shorter and mate with longer diff outdrives. The new geometry reduces the distance the CVD's dogbones move inside the outdrives during suspension articulation ("dogbone plunge" is the term Losi uses). With reduced dogbone plunge, the BK2's suspension travel is smoother and the drag-braking effect of plunge friction is reduced.
