You've just found where the catch point is. Do that a couple of times until you can do it smoothly, and slowely work in giving it gas.

Hope that helps.

yeah, I've been trying that... somehow I manage to stall it doing that too sometimes... I am getting more and more used to it though... hopefully I'll actually be able to drive on roads in a couple days without having to worry about stalling it at every red light and stop sign :rolleyes:
