RE: New guy getting back into RC
Ofna seems to be one of those brands that is very underrated on this forum (not talked about much, not many threads on them it seems), but offers a solid array of products for the money - both kits and RTRs. Durability and quality is great, I recommend them.
I wonder if part of it is their site - the website itself is a bit "meh", and the photos of their products sometimes aren't the best, so you're left wondering a bit if these are shady vehicles, or good stuff. On the other hand Traxxas does a great job with their website, great photos and details, so for the average web browsing person, it's a more attractive product.
But no new user should overlook Ofna. I neglected them for years, but am a big fan now.
