G'day, I run a b4 at Ryde also and find the green rear springs with 25wt oil perfect, you will need to go close to this to get any traction although the new track is getting better with time as it beds in. A little chassis slap is to be expected, won't damage the car unless you really case it out hard on the motor.
Read back a few pages in this thread re discussion on Kyosho and Durango springs, apparently they are a bit more progressive so will help you out a little. I'll be trying out the ranga springs this weekend (weather permitting!) so will let you know how I go...

I definately need to improve my technique and am looking forward to sme more practice. I've been shown the jump braking technique and will practice x 100.
I've got a B4 RTR kit I bought 5 years ago abd have added tekin RS and Redline 17.5.
I'm pretty sure the springs are black.
Do you recommend I buy the optional rear spring Associated Part # ASC1582
rebulid the rear shocks with 30wt oil and then experiment with different springs?
Is it worth going to the factory team shocks with the adjustable threads? I'm happy for any suggestions thanks
