Chiro... It was also lubed completely. Even underwater I could here like something was getting cooked. I thought it was the boat inside ,then I figured out that it was between the strut and the shaft... bubbles were coming from under water ,imagine how hot that was. I am thinking the problem could ve been an unbalanced prop or the vibration affected the strut a lot. Maybe both combined together. Thanks for the reply.

i got one. It was delivered in 2 weeks. I did have to call...Joe talk alot....I guess the fella that is TWISTED. He did send it. I am new to NEW Brushless RC....but old to fast electrics..
I am disappointed with the fit and finish of the strut. The strut runs the cable without bearings or bushings. I was told By "Joe talk alot" that there will be an upgrade to the package that was suppose to be sent 3 months ago..come to think about it.

Well when the shaft breaks or starts making too much vibes because of the sloppy fit...then I guess I will need a better one.

So whats the best leg? Show me with a picture/link where to buy!
Many thnks.

Look at aeromaraines setup, It is nice just ordered one yesterday. I can not wait until i get this piece of crap off my boat from TLR.

I haven't had any heat issues with the Skater II on my BJ. I do grease the cable after every run, and the shaft where it goes through the strut. The bore in the strut is starting to wear a bit though. I'd be interested in trying the new improved TLR strut but I'm not holding my breath.

re twisted liquid racing are they legit or a scam?

hey guys ,

im new to this site and my boat is a blackjack 26 brushless . i saw the website for twisted liquid racing back in june and i was looking to upgrade to an octura prop.

they had octura props with what they called a speed bead coating on them. they were balanced and ready to bolt on. they recommended the ovtura y 535 speed bead prop. i paid them through paypal and anxiously waited for it to arrive.

im in toronto,canada so i figured it would take a little while longer to be mailed to me. well its now almost the end of august and i still havent received my prop from them.

i have sent too many emails to count to their "online customer service reps" and ive also phoned their customer order number ( the toll free number doesnt work in canada)

after sending another email to them saying that i wanted a refund they sent me a reply saying my order was being shipped out within 48 hours. that was over a week ago and i still have no prop.

im kind of at a loss what action i should take to get my money back or get my prop.

any suggestions?

thanks for reading my long winded post guys.

sorry to hear your loss and frustration. They are a reputable company. Unfortunately a bad one... reputation that is. It sounds like they do end up filling orders it just sounds like they do it when they are ready and not when they recieve the orders. Best advise I have heard when dealing with them is to NOT deal with them anylonger. They have some sharp looking stuff but whats the point if you never get to see it in person and when you do it has lost its "shine" sort a speak.

Sorry to hear that you are another victim - so to speak. The speed bead prop they offer is very mis-leading. It is nothing more than a so called "balanced" prop that is shot blasted and hides many imperfections. If you want I can provide a prop- just send me a pm and I will provide a quote that includes priority shipping.

update on my prop order

well guys after waiting 6 weeks i finally decided to file a dispute with paypal regarding my dealings with twisted liquid racing.

before i did this i phoned their customer service number yet again and of course it went to their answering machine like it always does.lol.

i emailed them as well asking them to update me about my order , if it had been shipped and i got no response back.

i must say im disgusted with twisted liquid racing. they are total junk . they need to take some lessons in customer service from a main hobbies and offshore electrics. these are top notch operations who keep you up to date and informed of your order status.

i would advise anyone who is thinking of ordering any products from twisted liquid racing to think twice because they suck to put it mildly.

thanks to everyone who responded to my post.

OSE is the way to go! I've ordered stuff from here just to see how fast their shipping was! J/K Steve is very very good about shipping and answering questions. He posts to this board often and understands the frustrations that sometimes go with this hobby/sport. Sorry about your dealing with TL. Steve is their very opposite.
