|  relocating winch button
Hi I want to use the 3racing winch in manual mode for now as I don't have a spare channel. I'd like to move the control button from the contorl board to a remote wire that I can put somewhere on the body. What sort of button do I need? is it just a momentary on button, and the electronics handle the in/off/out part? |

thanks, picked one up. One other thought - would it be possible to hack up a wireless door chime to use as a wireless controller? I have one spare but I have no idea if it'd be simple enough to wire up. Be nice to have wireless control, and perhaps easier than me trying to make up a scale winch control box for the front :P |

ItIt would depend on the voltage it takes to run to receiver part of the door chime. Is it power by normal DC voltage or AC ( does it take a battery)?

The battery wireless door chimes that I've seen are 6V, so you could power it from the BEC or Rx. Here's a link that might help:http://www.hackersbench.com/Projects...dong/main.html |

the one I have takes 3v (2xAA batteries). They last ages so I'd be happy to have a separate pack for those. I'm assuming the winch takes power from my BEC so its just the receiver for the wireless part I need to power. thanks for the link, will take a look. |
