Default new arms and towers

Normally, going out on the tower results in less traction. With these new towers we're going out far past any setting previously available with seemingly no loss in steering. How does this happen? Does it have something to do with lowering the mount on the arms and the "gullwing" design? You get to keep all your steering, it increases stability and you dont need a swaybar anymore, but why? The same thing happened on the 1/8th scale, and many other vehicles have the same type of layout now, like the Losi 22. Just wondering from a design and engineering point how this works better and why. Thanks in advance for any facts, or opinions.
