Depends on what controller.  Some (most?) do indeed have acceleration 
ramps 
to prevent rearing, skidding, and/or excessive battery current.  In fact 
even the original ET resistor step controller had a sort of ramp - a time 
delay that stepped through the speeds gradually even if you rammed the 
speed 
lever all the way to the top.

Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity.  It
eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the
business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation.
