Here are a few options I can think of at the moment:
1. Throttle control - let off when the front end comes up and accelerate more slowly.
2. Does the ESC allow traction control or throttle ramping? Adjusting those would help.
3. Install a wheelie bar.
4. Use a less powerful battery.
5. Put some ballast weight on the front. This may effect jumping and cause nosedives.

The slipper clutch controls this. Loosen it up and it will allow it to slip and it should have a bit more acceleration instead of wanting to wheelie. Tighten up the slipper if you want to go back to wheelies.

EDIT: Well it looks like the Hoss doesnt have a slipper clutch so scratch that. I guess you could try changing the diff oil but I'm not familiar with that in regards to wheelies. I think you'd basically want to induce some slip in the drivetrain.
