yeah it's normal. It's recommended to turn on the control first then the car.

Yes, as byebye said this is completely normal. The reciever in the car is hunting for a signal is picking up static in the air, when it gets the signal from the transmitter it stops.

I found that if I let the car continue to sputter for long amounts of time on the MR-01 that is actually damaged the car and cause more twitching... don't know the cause of that, just something that I noticed. So, I suggest that you do not turn the car on first.
