I wanted to get everyone's opinion on a shock and/or spring adjustment problem I am having.

First I am running a heavily upgraded Durga - atomic carbon towers, Tamiya aluminum hop-ups all around, Novak electrics, Team Orion Lipo and TRF Aerated shocks; so the weight of the chassis is a little heavier than stock and the lipo helps to offset the difference.

I have had a continuous problem finding the right combination of oil weight, spring tension and piston settings for the tracks I am running on - indoor dirt/clay and outdoor dirt. It seems my front shocks especially are bottoming out pretty easy, even after landing mid size jumps.. I know I need to keep the shocks and springs on the softer side for traction, but I am not sure how to balance out good traction and good shock resistance.

I am running 30W in the rear with Tamiya 'red' springs (soft) and 35W in the front with Tamiya 'yellow' springs (medium). I am still using the standard kit recommended #3 pistons.

Thanks in advance for any help..
