winch help needed!!!!!!!

[peyton.]

i have a xp3d radio and xp 3 ch receiver,

i have the y cable from the battery to the esc and the winch,

winch is plugged into the 3rd channel of the receiver,
winch is plugged into the little mother board thing, i have been playing around with it, watched the 3 racing how to and looked around,


when it comes to the electronics i am the worst,

am i using the wrong controller?
if it helps i have a rc18t 7.2 volt
6 cell
1100mah battery pack.

is there a switch on my radio i need to press??

i dont have a manuel to the radio or the winch cause im not the first person to own them,

Sounds like you need to set the 3rd ch up on your TX.

i have been trying to figure that out.

but how?

[kuatto]

If you have a 3rd channel you can use ,you need a setup like this

using a servo,I turned it into a controller for the winch and can be operated from the 3rd(or any spare channel)on the radio.very easy to use,no big 3 way harness or worriying about extra batteries,pm me if you want more info.

You can just use the circuit board out of an old servo like this guy did: homemade pico switch

Then you can coat the board with liquid electrical tape, silicon or plasti dip. That's the way I did mine, takes up less room and works like a charm.
