Default keeping it down?

How do you guys keep yout front end down on a mini t? I have a mamba 6800 and on the lowest setting it still has way too much power, not really a bad thing but it does begin to look bad at the track when it spins out non stop.

throttle control.

When you put an overpowered motor in a 2wd vehicle you can't do much. You could always go to less voltage or a lower KV motor.
