Winch control w/ Flysky GT3C ?

[Statik]

Can work?
Or Tx needs to be modded?
Or only option is the HeyOK controller?

heyok controller for a 2pos switch
losikids hack kit gives you 3 pos channels, cheaper in the long run if you plan to have more than one rig.

if your going to buy something to run the winch, and going to have more than one rig, id get the Hack kit. you have to get a controller for each rig if you go with the HeyOK control. nothing wrong with the HeyOK control.
biggest factor for me was that i have 4 rigs with winches, i could have bought 4 2pos controls, or just 1 hack kit for my gt3b, i got another rig planed,so id need one more controller.

you can run 60 some models off the hacked radio

or. go in to 3rd channel EPA and turn it all the way down one direction,left or right, it dont matter, then use servo reverse on ch 3 to control the direction the winch goes,ran mine like this for a few months, works ok, but you can hit the button running and burn the winch up if its set to retract,(did it to a rc4wd winch) or knot the line up if set to spool out(done it many times, pain to untangle)

why both? what does this get you?

The controller keeps the servo from drifting. It's a good thing to get the hey ok controller if you run a servo winch

I have a 3racing winch and controller that I have never hooked up, does that controller do the same?

A fully programmable radio.. any button = any function

As an example, I use the steering trim and throttle trim buttons on the top of the radio to control my front and rear winches, and also have the ch3 trim on the handle set up for the front winch (great for single handed use when the other hand is holding the winch line)
The ch3 button on the handle being an on/off type is great for switching lights on and off.
Regardless, an aftermarket winch controller is a MUST if you have one of the cheap winches.
3racing winch comes with a controller that will stop working the first time it sees any decent load, and the rc4wd controller that comes with the winch cant hold still and will either spool in or out very slowly.
They all have their flaws.

Can the ch3 button turn lights off/on with out being Hacked?

Yes. You only need a two position channel to operate lights.
This will require a lighting controller to be plugged into the receiver.
Click the link in my sig if you want to see the lighting controllers I make.

I have two of those plugged into HeyOK's dual circuit controller so I can run either of them from the Tx.

I have the gt3c hacked, works great with my servo winch but without controler i get drift if i dont set my trim on startup. Getting a controler for mine asap.

Hacked gets you huge benifits........ Search out on gt3b thread and you will get it. Basically will do more thany anything you can think of.

Controller will keep from drifting and will actually hold when stopped.

[Red04VXE]

Why wouldn't they work on there own? Just 1 I mean.

Cheers Red

[KJ10]

They do work on their own but there's no way built in to turn them off. I run a separate controller for a switch, basically.
