3Racing winch

Nope! Tested and run by not only myself. But 5 other drivers.
I even put a volt meter on it last year with pics.
now explain that?

hey 3six...no, mine is not wired like yours. I did the first one like that and blew the mutha...so wasn't going to do it again...this time I put a second battery on, like big78 said...just incase..now I will solder those leads to my ESC and be done with it. It works...now going to search on the "stuttering" it does..

OK, lets try this, this is how it is told to me from Castle Creations.

Where were you measuring the voltage at? If you were measuring the voltage at the - and + ( voltage input) it could only be the same as the battery voltage since you are tapping directly into the battery voltage as a power source.

I'm not trying to start a pissing contest, I'm just reading the diagram that you posted.

might of read the voltage at the motor (winch) leads...

5 volts...I missed this post the first time. I still would like to know what is up with the two controllers I had.
