Default 3racing winch and a brxl esc?

Is there some way that I can run the winch off the built in bec in the brxl? From what jrh says in the specs shouldn't it have enough power to run a little winch? That's one of the selling points for the brxl, which I am very happy with and which ended up in my scaler. I'd llke to not end up with a wiring mess and not have to run a separate bec. Another possibility I was thinking about was running a separate itty-bitty battery to run the winch & led lights. thoughts anybody?

You might think about running one of my winch controllers. It is very small and takes power from the receiver. The link to it is in my sig.

Has anybody made stall measurements on that winch? I have heard reports that the internal BEC was fine for some, but not enough for others using the winch.

Thanks JRH let me know. If it's enough power would I just need to splice the red & black winch power wires into the red & black wires that go to the receiver?

Max load at stall is 1.6-2Amps for a 3R winch.
