Now I'm not Richard and I'm no where near his standard but I have found that on the slippy floor a stiffer setup can work really well. There isn't a great deal of grip to be had anyway so it's better to tune the car for balance.

Try running a grass/astro kind of setup, which on a BJ4 is probably Blue/Silver spring combo and maybe a rear bar. This stops the cars moving around so much and takes the edges off it at the limit.

Very soft settings, in my experience, tend to lose grip suddenly at the limit because you start lifting wheels or compromising the tyre contact patch. They are also sluggish to change direction.
