      They ripped me off just a month and a half ago. Had to keep calling them everyday and emailing them as well. The owner got on the phone and started to yell like a fool, i told him that i was driving up there to get my money and props back. I was only going to be 10 miles from him and my friend knew where he was, i got refund and then a week and half later i got my props back. I hope he goes to jail for making death threats at a cust named jason. This is what is going to happen to his company TLR BAD CUST SERVICE AND RIP OFF ARTIST. BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE OF TLR

                Hi everyone!... I ve just instaled,sharpened and mod the TLR system for my BJ 26 EP ,which arrived today after a darn month waiting. They sent it with the wrong address ,but its here anyway. The packaging was nice, except I think the flex cable was put into salt water or something ,because I had to remove some rust from the tips... I am happy with TLR though! By the way its Twisted-Networks and not TLR anymore.

                  I am considering making a hardware package for these. Can anyone give me the specs to the strut bracket in the hull? To the center of each hole from width and height? eith in " or mm is fine.

                  I plan to make a strong, light system with a centered rudder and all should match right up with factory holes and steering linkage. Hoping to keep it very affordable.

                  It would include strut and bracket and rudder with water pick up and new flex shaft for 3/16" props.

                    Good idea Jeff, please do so,
                    I think the BJ26 needs decent drive system...

                      Just FYI, there is a long thread on International Waters about TLR

                      RC boating community discussion forum & RC boat classifieds. Radio & remote control boat forum for motors, props, finishing, electric, engines, race schedule.


                      Seems the company and its owner are not held in the highest esteem by many long time boaters.
                      Don't get me started

                        TLR System missing a strut bushing or bearing???

                        Hello,just to ask. Does anyone here know if TLRs system comes with a bushing or bearing??? Mine didnt have any and the strut got so hot when testing it that the soldering between the cable and shaft let go and I cant run my boat (BJ 26 ) anymore,though I ve already ordered something from OSE to fix it. That is the hug-e
                        .150/ 3/16 assambled cable and two different struts ,which are the Octura aluminum strut and the Speedmaster 21 strut which should both fit perfectly with the TLR Skater II and they both come with bushing/bearing included ,unlike the TLR strut which I noticed late that it was empty and had no bearing nor bushing in it. Anyone please tell me about this issue with the TLR system. Has anyone had the same experience of melting the soldering between the cable and the shaft in the TLR Skater II system. The TLR system is not so good after all.

                          It doesn't come with any bearing or bushing, you just have to lube the cable, I've ran mine without a problem. How did it get hot "testing"?? Were you running it wide open, out of the water? Must have been a long time "testing" to get it hot enough to melt. Test it in the water and you won't have any issues, and stop testing out of the water, that just plain stupid.

                            The testings were done in open water birdy 233.I think the problem might have been the sharpened unbalanced propeller.Im saying the shaft was the only part turning inside their Hydro strut,not the cable.
