well a buddy of mine has the Ofna and it has been through a LOT!!! seems to be a good rig for the money. I never got the chance to have one but if I did I would. the traxxas is a good backyard basher, strong truck and off the shelf parts BUT a 1/10 2wd truck or a 1/8 4wd buggy? its up to you. to me it would depend on what yer friends have, a even race I think is more fun than takin a gun to a knife fight haha.
