1/10 nitro is a completely different animal...Very little of what you learned there will transfer over to 1/12th electric..however much of what you will learn in 1/12th electric will transfer over to 1/10th nitro. 1/12th electric takes a much smoother style of driving than 1/10th nitro. You can't throw a car into the corner and expect it to come out in 1 piece in 1/12th. You have to use a great deal of finesse in 1/12th. You will do most of your braking before the corner in 1/12th vs nitro where much of it is in the corner.
