I think that with on road you have to be gentle on the throttle but in off road there is more to contend with and the track does tend to change through the race and you have to be able to react to this very quickly. The great drivers in off road always amaze me in the fact they seem to make a bumpy track look as though it were smooth. I think that running a small sized class i.e. 1/10th helps your reactions for driving a 1/8th sized vehicle. I found this to be very similar with RC Helicopters as it is hard going from a 30 nitro to an indoor flyer like the Ikarus Piccolo but the other way round is so much easier.
