Want to make stock XMOD go SLOWER

I'm not sure how to search for this topic other than to look for "SLOWER" (didn't find anything like this question), but I doubt this topic has come up much anyway as most folks want theirs to go faster.

I have several XMODS and a wide foam track (8'x12' w 4' wide lanes). I want to use it in fund raisers, church carnivals etc. and to let beginners play with them.

Since it will be beginners running these I'd like them to go just a bit slower. Beginners almost always pull the trigger wide-open even if you tell them to go slow at first. They also always turn the steering wheel full-throw. In this area XMODS are great because they don't turn too sharp.

I've already changed the controller to the Lo setting for speed and kept everything stock (motor, gearing), but this is still a bit fast. Another thing I've tried is to run it on only 3 cells, but this won't power the servo very well.

Another idea I have is just to put something behind the trigger to limit the travel. I can do this, but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone here had any other ideas.

Does anyone here have any other suggestions of how to slow my XMODS down?

Thanks for your help.

Brad
