Is the shock bodies and 6 hole #56 & #54 pistons just to small to let the Losi perform well on rough blown out soil tracks. I seem to have great diffaculty with the soil tracks they tend to get rutted and pot holed up, my car sometimes flips tail over front just hitting pot holes while the damm Kyosho cars ride right over them like they were not even there.. Should I be looking into getting larger bore shocks and 10 hole pistons ? I am running the Drake set up on my Losi 42.5oil front and 30 or 27.5 oil rear with 54 piston up front and 56 in the rear. Thanks .
here is the conversion:

you need large bore and more holes. but in the mean time go larger on your holes size and maybe drill an extra hole or two in your pistons. i am not familiar with what and how many holes a 54piston has. if you are bouncing around the ruts then you have too much pack or you could be way too soft and chassis slapping everywhere. more than likely your packed up. especially when you say that when you get on a smooth track your car is dialed in. as hard as you may try your not going to be able to compromise on both tracks , your setup will have to be drastically different for each track. if you can afford it i would get some large bore shocks, set them up for the rough stuff and just swap shocks between the tracks. i will eventually have 2 stage pistons for the Losi but will be a mth or so .
