I just finished installed the CC 5400 brushless system on the mini t. WOW!! I can't keep the front tires down. Do they sell wheely bars for the mini t? I will post pics soon.
 
I believe you can program your ESC to help your acceleration cuve be more more suttle.
 
If you have a dual disc slipper / ball diff combo, adjust the ball diff and slipper so that there is some give at the slipper so that you don't wheelie unless you give instant throttle.

I have a mamba 5400kv and 2s lipo and I've got mine so that I can wheelie only when I want it to. Losi ball diff and losi dual disc slipper are installed and adjusted. You can also add a heavy fishing weight to the front as ballast weight if you're not able to adjust your slipper enough.
 
You can simply hook up the Castle ESC to your computer through the USB port and program the throttle curve so that it takes off just hard enough to slightly lift the front wheels for a second, but take off instantly so you can launch hard without worrying about a wheelie. They're fun for me for about 30 seconds, and then I'm ready to actually perform, and you can't get performance if you can't manage the power. I'm not positive about the 1/18 systems, but I was under the impression that it was programmable just like the other Castle stuff. I have two Castle systems and the software is REALLY easy to use, I was quite surprised actually. I can program and burn chips for ECU's on full sized cars, and it's really complicated. The castle software is SO easy to use. Good luck with it.
