just return from the Tamiya Championship. my first real race with the RS Pro v200.

Good: i quality 4th in the 17.5 class.
Bad: i drop to almost dead last at the start on all 3 rounds of finals

The problem: Turbo Lag.

Question: Is there a launch control in the RS Pro?

On the LRP, when you hold full brakes for a couple seconds, and then full throttle, it'll launch the car with full power. On the V200, i have to wait 0.5sec and then i have to wait for the turbo to ramp up. That 0.5sec delay at the start killed me. cars were passing me left and right before the first corner . I had great qualifing and race pace, but the start just nailed me

can this be addressed on the next firmware update? or this feature exist already?
