Does anyone have or know of pics of this setup and know what the longer link will do for handling?

I saw that Bob, and did find it interesting - but my only concern would be that this modification was something that was done 20+ years ago with the original RC10 goldtubs/JRX2,
a couple of companies even made special kits including pivots and caster blocks (I even had some on one of my cars), and yet as quickly as it came into vogue it became passe'. So if it was that good of a modification it seems it would be the norm today instead of a forgotten concept.
My other concern is that with longer caster links, especially on the front of a buggy, you increase your potential for damage via breaking or bending a link. I suppose it's really just one of those "personal preference" (set-up related) things, and
what works for one person doesn't work for everyone.
