Some guys in off road still actually use 180 for this very reason.

Off road demands a very different driving style to off road, simply put with off road you cannot use full throttle as much becuase the grip level can vary much more and can be overkill in the bottom end - top speed may take longer to achieve, since you're negotiating jumps etc.

You need a comfortable amount of power at your disposal on the bottom end. So you either control it with your thumbs, or through your electronics/settings...

Turbo might be worth using on a high bite track, where the power can be put down easily and there is a good amount of space to get to speed.

Might be better to try turning it off first, and going up slowly and seeing if it helps.

I don't currently race off road though, so using my past thoughts as a possible explanation...
