I have had good success with the throttle curve, though. I use a mild curve, basically 50% throttle on the trigger yields about 40% on my curve, and 90% throttle on the trigger yields about 80%. The curve slopes mildly at low throttle input and steeply at the end(so if I really want it all, it is available with a hard squeeze). It takes a few tries to get the throttle curve to a nice, driveable and predictable setting, but it works far better than punch control IMO.

THe throttle curve is the best tuning device for the Mambas. I run a 1512 1.5d on 4s in my rc8. I have my punch set at ZERO. With a linear throttle the car is practically uncontrollable on a track. Way over powered and very hard to keep the back end in control. With right gearing I can easily get the car up in the 60s.
I adjusted the low end of the curve to where it is very soft then pretty steep after half throttle and it works perfectly. I can creep around the tight turns and short straights and if I need to clear huge triples or doubles with very little run up, all I do is grab full throttle and it is bye bye nitro.
