So I see socal bash around the boards posting this thing called a Tazer PRT. So being the advid OFNA fan that I am. I had to investigate. So I bought one of these Tazer's from socalbash and let me tell you this thing is amazing. It's built from various OFNA/Mugen parts and has a custom made titanium chassis. It's light as heck and is just beautiful to look at. Socalbash is a great seller as well. Thanks socal!!!!
Take a look at some of these Tazer pics :cool:

Thanks for the comments guys. This thing is great. I haven't broken it in yet. But I dropped an OS .30 in it, so I'm sure it's gonna have some get up and go. I plan to break it in tomorrow. I paid a little under 6bills for mine but there's different options you get get that will determine the price.

OooooooooooooYeah You know it. :D I'm saving it for that race. I'll be breaking it in and cruising around with it. But I won't be doing any hardcore bashing with it untill I get a few races out of her.

Where in the world did u get such a beautiful truck !!! :-) Woooot!
Hey - here's a tip I just got word of .... www.nitrohouse.com
Part #40262 Titan Deluxe Super Suspension Conversion Kit. $49.99 + tax/ship
Front / Rear lower / upper arms ... sway bars ... front tie rods, misc bits, captured ball ends .... and mainly 4 new complete CVA's [those alone normally $40 a PAIR]
They have like 40 units of these kits prepackaged ....
Ok that said ...
DANG dude - you wasted ZERO time getting her in shape! She looks freakin HOT HOT HOT !!!
You need to set rear toe and camber to your liking - she likes a good bit of reat toe in. I think the front SHOCK oil might be a little heavy too - especially for your colder temps.
Line the body inside on the pipe side with A/c foil duct tape, cut out a spot for that pipe snout and slam that lid brother :-) [ we usually end up snipping off some of the top of the front mount post - fyi ]
There's also a way to make mudflaps in the front fenderwells of these msr bods - same with the Crowd Pleazer 2.0 for the Jammin CRT we use - really keeps the car and electronics cleaner. Next time you do a MSR lid ....

Hahaha. I waited all day for fedex :rolleyes: They finaly showed up at around 2pm. I already had the engine and electronics bought and ready to go. Once the truck arrived I went to work. I had the whole truck RTR and the body painted by 9pm :D :eek:
The rear toe seems to be at a good postition for now. I had to shim the front tie rods because it looked like there was going to be a little bump steer. But I think the washers and a bit of a toe tweak took care of that. I gotta say I'm shocked that this truck is so light. Even with the engine and electronics installed, it's still one of the lightest trucks I've ever seen. Much props socalbash! :rolleyes: This truck is truely amazing!

I just got back from the first breakin session. I put three tanks through the OS.30. Let me tell you, that engine is tight. I took me a little bit to get it idling because it's got so much compression. I got all the linkages and what not dialed for the most part. After I start getting some speed out of her I'll get it a little more dialed and see what she can do, and I have a feeling she can do alot. This is definitly the most a$$ kickenist rc I have to date. :eek: :cool:

She's setup for traction and in air attitude with pull out of the corners ...
Mugen Silicone Fluids in the diffs ... 10k f / 7k C / 1k R ...
She wont wheelie unless your onpower right after a airborn landing [why rc's do that - i still havent figg'rd]
PS. - we both need to get some updated video and host up on your site :-) :D

Thats fine. I don't need her to wheelie. I usualy set my MT's up to wheelie.
Oh yeah. Video is the first thing I'm gonna do with this puppy. I should be getting some footage this weekend. I'll post it as soon as I get it together.
