RC200t Delay when starting from a standstill

Apparently this is a throttle body delay and it takes more than a second for something to start happening after pressing the gas pedal all the way down.

Can this be solved with remapping?

Teke the battery terminal off, clen it and use electrical grease and mounted back. Good luck. That's all you need to du.

I dont see the connection.
I mean you can find videos on youtube where the guy smashes the gas pedal and for the 1-2 second nothing happenes and after that the car starts moving.

Nobody? I don't mind less power than the RC350, but I'd like it to at least move from a standing start.

Get a pedal controller and deal with the potential issues

Throttle lag is the measurable gap between your pedal input and the engine delivering torque. In modern drive-by-wire cars, the pedal sends an electrical signal to the engine control unit, which then modulates the throttle and injection. That processing chain can create a perceptible lag compared with older cable systems. Electronic causes include pedal and throttle position sensors, ECU filtering, torque management, and mapping that softens throttle for comfort or traction. Mechanical causes range from worn or binding throttle cables to carbon buildup on the throttle plate and intake restrictions. Have you tried the battery?
