Feed the throttle in gently!

Actually you've got a Mamba esc haven't you?

Ok - set the esc up with:
Punch control 100%
Start power low

That should help. If it doesn't:

Set the throttle curve up so that you have a very shallow start, rising rapidly at about 80% throttle.
Then get a little piece of fuel tubing or similar rubber stuff and stick it behind the trigger on your handset. Ideal it should make it much harder to get more than 80% throttle.
The idea here is to restrict the maximum power of your car to keep it in the zone you can control. Sounds counterintutitive for racing, but remember the old saving:
'In order to finish first, first you have to finish'
At first you WILL set faster lap times with a slower car. Its a proven fact. When you get better, then you start to dial back some of that speed
