OFNA OB4

Bingo!

Otherwise known as a complete rip-off of the HPI Nitro RS4.

Not really. Sure there are some similarities but in my opinion, the OB4 was a much better car.

For instance, the OB4 was a pivot ball car. Much more adjustable than an RS4.

OK, you got me... rip-off of the NitroRS4 with Pivot ball suspension.

I'm not sure I would have copied a 3-belt HPI car that's essentially a RTR for a race car, but they no longer sell it, so I guess it's a moot point.

Well, OK, If it were REALLY me, I wouldn't copy another car, but if I were inclined to do so...

At the time, all the cars were basically the same. Even the MTX2 had the same belt lay-out. Serpent was the first to go with the long, left side center belt with the Impulse, unless the Neo car beat it to the market. Not sure, they were close.

The crazy thing back then was that while the Serpent was the only really pure bread, modern RACE car, the thing was so heavy that the cheaper, more toy like (but much lighter) cars like the OFNA and Neo could run with it.

I remember crushing all the Serpent guys with my cheap POS Neo. They were all convinced that I was winning because the Neo was so light, so when the OB4 came out, they switched. Just to bug them (and because the Neo was getting hard to find parts for) I switched to the Serpent and still killed them. Drove them nuts.

My point being that in its day, the OB4 was actually a very good car. Yeah it's antiquated junk now but when it came out, there wasn't much better to be had.

SteveP gunna have to agree with ya, Copy of the RS4. But 2-speed gears are the trick of it The 2 colors.. It may be a CEN product, or a good China Counterfeit.

Wingracer, Its definity not a Serpent. Impulse was a downsized scale of the Vector, 235mm-10th Impact. Serpent was always left side 4WD belt drive.

I still have two of these in my collection and another un-built one. They had quite a few options. Ball diff's, front one way's and left side belt conversions. Full aluminum parts were also available, arms and gearbox halves. Let me know if you need any specific parts to get it running, I'm sure I would have it. I'm currently even running an electric version of this chassis in my cirtix spec class.

I'm not the one who said it was a Serpent. And it's not a CEN either. As I said, it's an OFNA OB4.

I have never seen one with a left side belt conversion. Do you have one? I'd love to see a pic of it.

Purple parts HPI. 2sp gears Ofna. Brake lingage HPI. More of a frankenstein car. Just pick one!!
