Default New beefy winch controller I've been testing

So about 2 months ago I got a PM from a guy named Jyi in Australia. Said he had a very heavy duty winch controller that he had made and was selling on his website. He was thinking about getting a vendors star on RCC and wanted someone to test his controller before he put it up for sale (especially wanted it to be tested on the Quicksand winch). I'm always looking for something new and indestructible for my rigs, and this looked like the controller I was looking for. It uses micro relays so you wire in the voltage you want (12.5 volts for me) and you run the out wires to your winch. Then you plug it into you receiver. Very simple. Plus it has a built in brake so when you let off, it STOPS. I used this on my Class 2 Range Rover with a Hitec 645 servo winch and I made at least 35 to 40 pulls on 12.5 volts without it flinching. It would pick the rig straight up and pull it 8 feet straight up. The brake would allow the truck to slowly lower but no more that an inch in 5 seconds. This was with a 9.5 lb truck. I used the controller on my new '34 Ford Class 3 rig last weekend and it was great. Tons of power, great speed, and worked flawless. I ordered two more of these controllers and got them in the mail Friday. They are going in both my other trucks next week. This controller has been in my '34D for awhile now and it it still works flawlessly with my Quicksand winch. I would highly recommend it to anyone that's looking for a BEEF winch controller.

Thanks for the kind words Tim.

Here's a video of some testing I did this weekend to show how it works while I was testing a winch.

Yep, the circuit board inside the servo has been removed and those wires are directly connected to the motor.
