I compared the Losi to a YZ2 - on the YZ it has very slight positive bump steer - so as the car leans away from the corner - it turns into the corner.
On the Losi - it has massive negative bump steer - so wheel turns away from the corner
Removing spacer on axle side track rod helps - but it's still there.
I know a number of people struggling with steering in low grip tracks - to the point where some have decided to run a different car

So bump steer;
bump in (outer wheel turns into a corner) and
bump out (outer wheel turns out of a corner)
Bump steer adjusted by washers on the steering hub and the axle height height.
So the problem you're having is not to do with the bump steer, personally my 22 turns up its own arse with kit settings in the wet, how many Ackerman washers do you have? If you reduce the washers the more Ackerman it has, this will chill it out in the dry but seeing as you're after steering, try adding 1.5mm and move the front link in, this will sharpen up the front.
