It would seem that in the brushless era, limiting throttle is not a problem - but in the brushed era it was a no-no.
Best long term solution is to get hold of a milder motor. The "pros" seem to run 8.5 or maybe 7.5 nowadays - which give you an idea of how overpowered a 5.5 is!

That was my worry about gearing it down too much as I might melt the slipper clutch.
I borrowed a 6.5 the last time I raced and although it was a bit much I was supprised how much more power the 5.5 has.
If I can safely turn the max throttle down then it wont be such a problem (I hope)
I might also race 4WD where the extra power wont be such a problem, so I will try sticking with the 5.5 for the moment.
