If I read it right, and only to confirm with those above, as long as the system is passive (ie not controlled by remote connection or force) then it is ok to use. Passive in motor sport generaly meens something acting on something else by meens of a natural force...not mechanicaly driven or forced by motor or similar acting unit.
The LRP unit back at the worlds all them years ago was a classic 'non-Passive' unit. As mentioned the giro and ESC along with a sensor on the front wheel (i believe it was the front) was used to see if the car was tailing out or spinning the wheels up. It then reduced RPM to steady the car. You can imagine the uproar it caused, though I dont believe it won the event (it may have been banned during the event if i recall).
So, in short yep the push rod system as seen on that serpent car would be legal, as would other push rod systems being passive.
