| Servo Winch Controller question
I wanted to convert a spare servo into a winch, however I have a 2ch radio/receiver and don't got the funds to purchase another 3ch set. So I am looking into the idea of a 1ch receiver and keyfob that would allow me to control the winch and have this receiver run off 7.2v. OF course there is this: Wireless Remote & Receiver for Bulldog 9300XT Winch (rc4wd bulldog remote/reciever) but thats 40 bucks. Anyone know of a cheap alternative in the same category? does not need to be pretty, just needs to be cheap and function. Research shows a whole lot of things that are 12v. or are fairly large. Not sure how well it would work in a sealed box and with only 7.2v. Nimh packs btw, not Lipo. not worried about draining the pack low with this diy mod. |

When you hold that keyfob in your hands, you'll know why it cost so much. I love mine!

Unfortunately my girlfriend would kill me if I spend 40 bucks on it. which is why im trying to find a cheaper alternative. One that does not require me to choose between steering and winching thats just annoying. xD

| Re: Servo Winch Controller question I have found that after finding a "cheaper" version of something and dealing with the modification and or instillation struggles, it was more than worth the 40 bucks in the first place for the correct part. |
