So what would a curve look like that would help tame the accelartion of this beast? As I dont really understand the throttle curve graph & stuff that the MMM can do.

set timming to - 0%
acceleration/tracion to - 100%
(also higher ur lipo cutoff from anywhere 0.2v-0.8v higher then what u have, this will stop the car from pulling alot of amps AND it helps tame ur bottom-end alittle)

for the THROTTLE CURVE,
make it look like a half-pipe or quater-pipe..
(an play with it for 1 to 2 packs, as u can tune out ALOT of bottom-end Tq/Hp) run it for 2mins if u dont like it try pulling it over an down more around 30-70%, takes a lil bit but ull see how what chanes what
make it smooth curves btw..

Yeah, increase your punch control to 100% and timing to lowest. You can try reducing the start power too, but watch out for cogging on starts.

Adjusting the throttle curve won't help much if you just grab WOT because the trigger will be at the max part of the curve right away. The curve is similar to setting exponential curve on the radio. It allows less throttle change at the beginning of the throttle trigger throw and then increases the rate as you squeeze it.

Like Daf said, a little finger control will do wonders.

Are you sure about that? Increasing the LVC will just cause the vehicle to stop a little sooner. If the motor pulls so much current that the voltage dips to LVC, you'd get a momentary "black out" of power until the voltage climbs back up. It's not like the MMM has a soft cutoff vs a hard cutoff, or does it?

Only hard cutoff.
