I have Tamiya TA04 and this unknown car, configuration wise looks the same. But Im thinking which to use for drifting.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
it was a decent basher but not really much more than that. I think parts are pretty well gone based on my searching the website

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Ofna Z10 was actually a bad ass car. Basically a YR4 copy, if you put YR4 caster blocks on it to get rid of the crazy amount of caster the stock pieces had, it was really good. A one time 1/12 stock national champion from the late 90's used to run one for a while, and he was fast with it locally, along with a few other people...

I have 2 full sets of the "narrow" versions (like the 2 lower tie rods), but hadn't seen the "wide" version before.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
The wide versions pictured are actually regular 4-40 but in longer lengths (rc10t or lxt). These have been "customized" (cut) to fit the rc10.
Tecnacraft did make 6-40 turnbuckles, but they required the modifed rocket city (gray and black) ends that came with the delaer box or the gray RPM ends that came with the individual sets.
As for bent rods, I've been luck enough to do this Tecnacraft actually gave a life time warranty replacing any bent or broken buckles. They said that if you bent one of their buckles, you have to spend much more money fixing your car.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
This car indeed is a Ofna/Hong Nor cars. In Europe also sold as GM-Racing TC-4. Regarding quality of parts it wasn´t very good but with the right setup the car to beat. Faster than the Yokomo and HPI cars right from the beginning.
I also was using GPM casterblocks for reducing caster what helped a lot and replacing the heavy steel diffs with leightweight nylon diffs. Also using some Yokomo parts. Overall I was able winning a large touringcar series here one year and a 2nd place overall the next year using this car.
Somewhere in storage I still have this car and parts. Have to look out for the box if someone is interested in pictures.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
The Z10 was also sold under other names... in germany it was the GM TC4 for instance. Helbing himself ran one and he did pretty darn good at the first IWC (B-main I think). Definitely a competitive car, but obviously still not a yokAscotConversion wrote:Ofna Z10 was actually a bad ass car.
