i had a problem similar which i cured by adjusting the low speed mixture i think i leaned it abit but i'm not sure if you give us the make/model of the car we may be able to help better also you could try taking the carb back to factory settings and re tuning it

dose the carb have a small screw located in the side of the car it will probably be inset if it dose turn it anticlock abot 1/16 of a turn that will richen your low speed mixture giving a little more fuel so it should be less likly to cut out at low speed aslo open the trotle fully and screw in the idel screw alittle or incrase the trim on the the transmitter your chose if this dosnt help we can find the base settings and retune it from there
