I was at my local hobby shop here in SD-CA, and saw something called ZD Racing 1/8 Truggy, brushless and lipo set up. Looks pretty decent in person. Actually looks like a rebranded OFNA model - not sure. It was priced at $249.00 sale, and regularly $299.00.
I think it is cheap for a 1/8 truggy and brushless at the same time.

Impossible cause OFNA is only a distribution company, and doesn't manufacture their own RC's they now only sell Hong Nor RC's under their name (HPI Stole HoBoa from them)

I'll be honest any 1/8th brushless truggy that is RTR for $249 I'd be very cautious of as the ESC, and motor should be almost that much alone.

BTW no experience with ZD, and also never talked to anyone that ever mentioned them that was just in general for 1/8th scales.




You are probably correct. The chassis though looks similar. I too never heard of the brand ZD Racing.
I looked into it further and it is being distributed by MRC. I have been in the hobby for a while, and I have seen good brands from MRC
