Then again, it looks cool and can incorporate an anti-sway bar.
Im not sure it makes much difference to the unsprung mass, while the TA's they are running are smaller than the bell cams, they are no way capable of having the C/O and BP mounted to them. It would mean the more traditional type TA which are going to be much bigger and heavier....so bring it back to similar weight of the bell cam. I doubt rear axle clearence is an issue for these desert type racers. again I doubt strength an issue either. What I do think they gain is more ability to tune the suspension.

I could very well be wrong
