You need a place to mount it, You can mount it on there but its mainly for scale crawlers. It comes with a controller, youll need a BEC if your running 3S, you may need a 3 channel depending on how many channels you use now. and youll have to understand how to set up the limits on your radio so you dont burn it up.

I think the best bet for a winch down suspension is to run a hi torque servo modded as a winch. I used to use a hitec 5645-mg

i run the rc4wd winch on my creeper. its just zipptied down to the front axle and works just fine. As far as controling it i have modded a tq3 with a 3 position switch from radio shack. The mod works great and really cheap and easy to do.
