I bought one last winter. Quality was not the best .

[H&MWill]

Cool, I was looking at some of their other stuff I will look elsewhere. Thanks

[Eyekandyboats]

twisted liquid stuff is horrible
I would never buy from the, there service is crap, quality and attitude towards people is horrible as well.
They join many forums and push , push ,push there product because no one buys it.
i wonder why

[txboatpilot]

Glad I found this tread, I put in a bid on that hardware but did not hit the reserve!!!HAHAHA.....Thank God!!! I was going to check it out on BJ26 brushless.....Think I will wait!!!LOL......Thanks for the heads-up SJFE!

I dont know what your experience is with their stuff, But my boat is TLR from head to toe, I've never had any problems at all. They always completed all my orders, all their stuff on my boat works well and is very reliable. Not sure what your problem is, you didnt give any specifics.

[badkat26]

there is always two sides to a story

[zero9046]

you know i know people have said that this is not a good product, while others have said it is...that makes it hard to decide whether or not to try it out. but i am attracted to it because it is "drop-in". I am really weary of drilling new holes in the back of this boat, which seems like i would have to do for almost any hardware. anyone else have any opinions on it?

[PropNutt43]

DON'T DO IT! I made the mistake of ordrering one from Twisted Liquid and it took a month to arrive and only after filing a complaint with PayPal. I received it the same day I got my order from Fullers Fast Electric which took 3 - 4 days to get. I looked at both side by side and put the Fullers offshore Catamaran hardware on. The bolt pattern width is right I only had to drill two new holes for the bottom bolts and the hardware covers the old mounting holes. so no eyesore

here's the site http://www.drcwebservices.com/ffe/hardware.htm

The things I did't like about Twisted Liquid's hardware:
There is no bushing in the aluminium stut
strut looks like it was made with a hand file
very sloppy rudder hinge
must drill holes in hull to mount water pickup (creates more drag in water)
Very bad experience with their lack of customer service

[PropNutt43]

Oh, one more thing if you decide to go with Fullers hardware make sure to put in the notes when you order that you need a .150 flexshaft and liner with 3/16 stub shaft.

[zero9046]

ok ok, i'm convinced on the fullers. so basically, if i order the catamaran hardware, all i will have to do is drill 2 new holes, which would be easy because the top half of the mount fits in the holes already there? just to clarify, with the fullers, the mount and holes are the same width, just not quiet as tall, right?

[PropNutt43]

That is correct they are the same width but the Fullers mount top to bottom hole spacing is a little longer. You want to use the top two holes that are already in the hull and drill two new ones for the bottom. This way the hardware will be at the right height for everything to line up correctly and gives you plenty of room for adjustment of the strut up and down, and gives you the correct alignment height for the steering arm on the rudder. Make sure to plug the two old holes with epoxy so you dont get any leaks. you won't be able to see them afterwards because they will be behind the mount . if you put some tape over the outside of the hull over the holes you won't have to worry about the mount sitting flush against the hull. Just pull the tape off after the epoxy dries.

Can that hardware be used with the stock stuffing with no mods on the BJ26?

[cretandolfin]

hi!
i dont want to change anything from the hull so i say to give a try to this:

and this:http://www.proboatmodels.com/Product...ProdID=PRB3331
worth the money to give a try and also the prop:http://www.proboatmodels.com/Product...ProdID=PRB4019

tell my ur opinion!

thank u!

[TDIMan]

The difference is night and day. But you must remove the turn fins. When I first got my boat I became a very good swimmer again. But after the new hardware was put on and fins removed.....HUGE improvement. I have the strut angled down, so the boat pops up on plane in the first foot or so. Your going to have drill new holes for the strut and rudder, you will need a new flex shaft ( ie no u-joint ). Get yourself a Octura prop X642 or X442 too, have fun and enjoy your boat, I sure I'm.

[cretandolfin]

the octura prop fits at the new proboat flex saft?
always i wonder if fits to this prop saft:http://www.proboatmodels.com/Product...ProdID=PRB2813


thank u again!

[TDIMan]

Yes it will fit just use the bushing from your stock prop.

[cretandolfin]

ok!
thank u!
