I've tried to reduce all the settings on the ESC for the least amount of startup power as possible to tame the spinouts while still giving me decent punch. Below is the output of my saved settings file (it's cool that it outputs plain text rather than compiled code, makes it easier to post):

The throttle curve is actually two linear lines. From 0 to 75 throttle (X axis), the slope is linear to 5.5 lines on the Y axis. Then, from 75 to 100 on the throttle, the line's slope is steeper from 5.5 to 10 on the Y axis. I have no idea why the brake/reverse curve is so complex. I never messed with that one at all.
