servo winch

[yotaben]

allright i did a search and had no luck so here goes would a futaba s3003 or a traxxas 2018 be strong enuff for a servo winch on a 1.9 scaler i realy dont want to go spend the moneys for a ht645

Those two servo's wouldn't work to well for a winch unless you want to buy lots of replacement gears. You could get a 3racing winch, they seem to be pretty cheap.

do ya think thell work for a couple three or four pulls and be burnt up or would it be like a atv winch on a truck thanx for the input

I don't think it will be very affective as the gears will break quickly, so instead of putting money into gears you should buy the 3racing winch or a hitec 645 and up and convert it to a winch.

or get a s3305 from futaba, thats what i use and its got plenty of power and you can pick it up for about $30-$40. way better than a 3racing and not much more

Axial AS-2 servo converted into winch

I've been using a plastic geared futaba servo for a winch all year without any problems. A winch really doesn't see any "shock" loads so the gears have held up pretty good. Granted it doesn't have alot of torque but it is enough to get your rig unstuck, if and when it craps itself I'll give the axial servo a try and see how it handles it.

I doubt a plastic geared servo would have been able to provide the same pulling power as a simple 645..... Mine sees plenty of "shock" loads, especially when there's slack and the rig tumbles and only catches by the winch.
