It's been discussed many times in the past, and in the view of many including myself it's not such a good idea. The problem with a RPM limit is that it doesn't account for motor loading. So if your truck is geared for 60mph and you set the RPM limit to a level which achieves a top speed of 30mph, you haven't actually reduced the load, only lowered your top speed.
Ideally you should account for top speed changes with gearing or cell count. I realize there are some situations where a motor is geared properly but is still too fast, but lowering the cell count can take care of the problem instead of RPM limiting.
