Default 3 racing winch

Quick question? Can't I just plug it into the third channel slot on the receiver and run it that way? The instructions have you use a second battery or a Y connector from the main battery.

Receiver- 1 servo, 2 esc., 3 winch, and sometimes receiver pack.

I don't run a BEC, but I do use a receiver pack most of the time(red wire pulled from esc). Wont that work?

wont work
the plug going to the reciver is just to control the winch if you have an open 3rd channel.
the power is taken from a main battery.

dont trust me? just try it. pretty easy to just plug it into the reciver. total time for testing shouldnt take any more than 2 minutes

Is there any way to send power to it from the RX? I am currently running one BEC to get ample power to the servo, and I have heard that running a second BEC can lead to interference issues.

I don't really want to run a second pack just to power the winch, which I hardly use, but love to show off to people.

Just some specs on the truck so you have a solid background.

Just use a T connector or tap it to your ESC plug.
