Ok, that makes sense, and effectively is what I was thinking; running too soft will cause the car to bottom excessively on a bumpy track, so you use chassis flex to allow one to run a slightly stiffer suspension. However, in my mind, I wonder how you can effectively damp chassis flex. Perhaps it's so minimal that it doesn't really matter. That makes quite a bit of sense to me, as in slippery conditions one would like to slow weight transfer as much as possible.
I looked up the pull bar/lift bar thing, and came across:

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, this is quite different than chassis flex, no? From the article, it sounds like it's more along the lines of slowing the torque applied to the tires, which one could accomplish by adjusting the current limit on the ESC instead of controlling chassis flex.
That's not exactly an explanation.
Again, I'm not saying you guys are wrong. Not in the least, however I'm not really one to just accept things without asking questions. I like to know
why things work the way they do.
BTW, thanks for any explanations. I'm just looking to learn!
