I'm not sure you can set up an electric 1/8th scale buggy this way. Any brushless setup that has respectable top speed and doesn't overheat during a race will always have enough torque to cause huge wheel spin at low speeds. My RC8 will pull wheelies with a measly 3s battery and I've only got a 2200kV motor in it. It puts my MP777 (with its .28 "big block") to shame in the torque department. I think the only way to soften the power delivery of a brushless motor is to use some kind of smart control scheme that's integrated into the ESC.
