Ya, I agrere.. you can set the EPA (End Point Adjustment) lower on the Nitro to limit the throw.

If you go electric, be sure to turn the EPA all the way up before setting up the ESC with the controller so you can then limit the top end. I actually had to do this with one of my cars for me recently. I was running a stupid fast 3.5bl in my XXX-4. Turned it down to 60%.. otherwise all I could do is donuts!
