We only limited travel becuase of the limitations of heim and CV joints. Please explain to me why they want you to limit travel on our RC trucks. Thanks
Weight tranfer for the most part. More limiters in the front limit weight transfer to the rear under acceleration and more limiters in the back limit weight tranfer to the front under breaking. Less limiters obviously do the opposite. There might be some other uses for them but that is what I use them for. 1/8 scale does the same thing with the downstop screws in the arms. Hope that helps.
