Excellent thread with great physics stuff to ponder (With my limited understanding of fluid dynamics). Been thinking a situation it might be beneficial to have some RTC effect is during a major tankslapper. Tending to think that away from centre damping probably enough to cut the oscillation though. But maybe a very small amount of RTC (unnoticable during normal riding?) might still be enough to have a useful effect during a rapid/violent headshake? Seems you'd definitely want this to be separate adjustment though, as noted by Danger.
Only ever really had one true lock to lock tank slapper, but this was in the old days of short travel suspension. 'Perfect storm' of right combination of suspension geometry/speed/bump shapes etc. Truly scary. All that energy has to do its thing somewhere.
Like climintie found with with a top notch camera lens. The more I read about the Ohlins/Scott one, the more I want it. Ouch$.
