External limiters would solve this problem, not internal limiters. Internal limiters control the amount of droop, external limiters control the amount of uptravel.

Wouldn't something else have to be wrong here? This would be a complete design issue, and I haven't seen or heard of it anywhere else.

That is why most set ups call for external limiters of 9.5mm. This will solve the hitting issue.

Nope, it's not a design issue, it's a setup issue

The other thing to remeber, when during crawling have both shocks been compressed at the same time to that extent other than landing from a fall? When I hold down the front wheels and lift one rear wheel to its limit, there is a serious bind issue with the opposite front wheel and the shock. That doesn't mean it will happen in normal driving conditions. Let alone after you set it up how you want.

That's correct. I'm running a 3/8th" external limiter on my shocks. I think the Losi has a little too much flex without the limiters, plus the lower links do get into the driveshaft a bit.

Most will use fuel tubing or you can get nylon spacers.
