Howdy. I have the rc4wd winch an run it on a 2s lipo. as far as I understand the 3racing winch should work fine on a 2s lipo.

ok i got his winch wired up to the single battery on the truck and it works great, my question now is why wont the truck move, the winch works perfect but the truck bareley moves in forward and if you even slightly touch the trigger it goes full speed in reverse, if i unplug the winch from the reciever the truck works fine in forward and reverse, some help would be appreciated as ide like to have this done when my husband comes back from the hospital

Shouldn't need a BEC if the winch hooks direct to the battery leads.

the winch plugs into the esc and is fed power from the battery, the winch works perfect when plugged in but the truck wont do anything, if i unplug the winch from the battery the truck works fine,

Any way you can post pics of the setup, I along with many others on this site use that winch. My pos and neg tie in to my deans where the battery hooks to the ESC, then the winch into channel three.
