Stock pistons are not ideal on a loose bumpy track.
Front: 500-550 cst Rear: 400-450 cst
Springs: Front 2 or 3 dot and Rear 1 or 2 dot
No limiters in shocks and if really loose we add droop as well by unscrewing the shock rod ends.
Swaybars 1.2mm or thinner.
If really loose we run no swaybars.
Shorter links, inside and down on the hinge pin inserts and ride height of around 22mm on a bumpy track.
For diffs in low grip conditions we run 3 / 500.000 / 2
Metal gears inside and hardened alu. pins in all diffs.
Shorty pack is awesome in low grip conditions
Other buggys looking better with saddles is down to a better setup

Cheers for the advice mate
I did have the stock pistons in which is why the buggy felt better with 30wt in the front and 25wt in the rear losi oil
I must admit i did feel like going to F1.6 and R1.7 hole pistons with 550 -400 X-ray oil .
I had no limiters in the shocks and had adjusted the shock ends so when i lifted the buggy off the ground ,at the time
all four wheels left the ground my chassis was level.
1.2 mm sway bars
21 mm ride height
As for the saddles vs shorty,i felt like the shorty set up was more agile through the corners but you could easily get your self into more trouble where the saddle set up was way more predictable and straight out much more consistent .
I felt like i had to drive with a controlled aggression attitude with the shorty ,the saddle set up i could be just
as agressive as i liked with out making mistakes.
cheers again for the advice.
