Hi John,
I would rather run a direct linkage but space considerations prevent it. I
have talked to quite a few circle track and LSR guys about the hyd. brgs.
They are about 5 to 1 in favor of them. They all say that you must set them
up correctly, exactly as the maker specifies. Especially mast. cyl. dia. ,
free play and finger shape.
