I have seen this, yes. I haven't found a setting that cures it either. And I got conflicting suggestions from Castle depending who I talked to.

One thing I can say for sure is that if it coggs bad like that so that the car just sits there..... DO NOT stay on the throttle. If it happens, let off throttle immediately and try to give it just a little throttle like you said, ease into it.

If you mash the throttle when it's just sitting there stuttering it will get VERY hot VERY quick. The thing is though that sometimes that's what makes the car go... I have seen many times when I give a full throttle take-off and it cogs just for a second and then takes off. But sometimes it won't go and the longer you stay on throttle the more it will heat up, if the car doesn't GO....

This hasn't really been an issue for me when racing because it's rare to have the car stopped. Only when getting marshalled, etc... so the odds are it won't be cogging during a race. But still it's a possibility and I have had it happen a couple times while racing.
