    The easiest mod is to keep from hammering the throttle. LOL jk You can however use Proboats programing module to add some throttle punch until it doesn't try to back flip out of the water at a stand still.
    Move the CG forward by removing the battery trays and using double sided velcro to affix them to the lowest part of the transom an inch or so forward. By doing this you make it harder for the boat to lift it's bow so fast but beware that handling will be affected. One way to help the handling is by adjusting the angle of the turn fins in the rear to match the angle of the lowest part of the transom. This mod will help it corner a lot flatter than stock where the inside raises and makes it look as though it's going to barrel roll.

    In general though this prop is a fast mover.
