    I'm starting to daydream about a 2dof + traction loss setup and am curious if there are any rules of thumb for what performance I should target. I'm not too worried about linear targets but I'm really curious about max angular accelerations, speeds, and max pitch and roll that people recommend. It's tempting to think that more's better, but not when it comes to price :) And I pretty much just play road racing sims.

    Also, a lot of the shoulder pushers that I see look like they'd have much better pitch performance than roll performance; am I mistaken, is this a feature, or is it a compromise? Thanks!
