the pictures youve posted are very low quality. anyway you could check the ofna hyper 8 to see how it compares
this one is similar https://www.redrc.net/2007/09/hobao-hyper-85-rtr-buggy/

OFNA was not a manufacturer, they rebranded from many different OEM's where HoBao and HongNor were the 2 most common 1/8 cars they distributed.

The HoBao Hyper lineup is still sold here with plenty of parts:

HongNor can be found here from WillPower:

LX2 parts can be found here, try to see if they look compatible since the photo you provided isn't high enough resolution for us to be certain:

Its an OFNA Ultra LX2

I agree that it's an LX2 but OFNA was never a manufacturer, they were a distributor, the OEM is Hong Nor who is still in business over seas.

There is a new distributor looking to bring back Hong Nor into the US again soon:

Not clear if they are going to bring back the LX2 but they are definitely going to focus on the X3S EVO which might have some backwards compatibility with the LX2, I would reach out to Race Inc USA to see what they know.

Right. The link I provided says that Hong Nor was the manufacturer and OFNA was the distributor

I guess the point I was trying to make is that OFNA is no longer in business, so probably not worth calling it an OFNA when it's actually a Hong Nor,

It was very frustrating back when OFNA would rebrand it and put their name on the box and folks would get confused between Hong Nor and Ho Bao which were completely different brands and their parts were not compatible
