Alright I have been banging my head with this annoyance for a long time. So here is a fix for it. If I am not mistaken in 5.2 Epic introduced a feature where torque can be applied to each wheel. This can be used to bypass this throttle cut that chaos vehicle has. Below is a function using the “Set Drive Torque” feature. I made it so torque can be set by gear with first gear having the most torque, and top gear having the least torque.

Here is an alt link to the function:
Edit:
Remember to set the “Max wheelspin rotation” to a high value in your chaos tire settings. 25000 works for me.
Also set "External Torque Combine Method to additive.
