To put it another way, I want the power delivery of a 13.5 for the first 75% of the throttle and a mod for the last 25%. There are various ways to achieve this kind of feel. ESC programming, motoring/timing down and running flat batteries are all things people do to create a more calm car. I'm just considering taking that a step further with even lower voltage, because for me, running flat packs gave me the best improvement in overall feel.
