Default RE: Troubling observations about brushless . . .

Nice video, Access. I have a MM5700 pede coming my way today, and I'm contemplating whether to keep it or go back to brushed for a more "sane" experience. I agree that all the brushless videos I see are people giving it the beans straight away just to show off the power. I'd rather have a more controlable power curve that isn't bringing the front end off the ground all the time, but I don't want to do it by crippling my off-road truck with anacondas.

A lot of people have talked about taming the brushless monster by tuning the ESC. I know the MM gives you that option, but what settings do you recommend on the MM for a more controllable truck?

I think stiffening the rear springs as much as possible would help keep weight from transferring away from the front and keep it planted. It will also make the car less prone to understeer under power which the pede does ad nauseum. I won't mind an occasional 360 from power-on oversteer. Any comments on suspension setup?
