Yes - I´m also experiencing this. Not sure though if it´s related to the brakes.
Think the initial friction between tires and ground is too high - so you need to apply about at least ~1800RPM to start moving and then throttle back.
This is also the case if you land, come to a complete stop and want to get going again afterwards.
And as you´ve also already mentioned, the Dora is effect as well but to a lesser degree.
