Default Help with suspension setup needed?

I have two problems with my Kyosho buggy. One is that the existing shocks are very spungy. One of the fronts are leaking to. It bottoms out far too easy.
Two: When using the buggy on grass it attends to roll far too easily when turning.
How can I get my buggy more stable?
Would a new set of shocks help, if so which ones?

Cheers Carl

for the rolling on grass part, i'd say get harder tires with less traction that way you don't traction roll. and the shock that's leaking check the orings and stuff inside of it make sure none of them are messed up, and put thicker shock oil in them, so they won't feel spongey

Get some shock rebuilding kits to fix the leaky shocks and put in some heavier fluid. As for traction rolling on grass, you are not going to stop it completely but you could get some fine pin pattern tires like crimefighters and trim the outer rows of pins.
