JB, going to a softer clitch packege will help tame it down some, i have a friend that's running one of my motors and in a losi, he whent to all carbon shoes to soften it up some, made it easier to drive, if the bottom to mid is to much the smaller restrictore will help some, some guys are running a 6.5 in truggy so it has the power but it may help some, but you will see a increase in runtime as well, I'm guessing as well that your looking for a smoother bootm to mid is that correct, I am running my modded 7 port with M2C hard light shoes and 2 1.1 and 1 1.0 and a 2060 OS pipe, it working out very well.
