Stopper Strap
The function of the stopper strap is to control the
transfer of vehicle weight during acceleration and
to control track lead angle.
The longer the belt, the more the weight will be
transferred to the track to provide a better trac-
tion. The shorter the belt, the lesser the weight
transferred to the track, thus maintaining a more
positive steering.
