|  RC4wd new Warn winch problems
Hello everyone, I recently purchased RC4wd's new Warn winch and wired controller and hooked it up. For the first day it worked awesome, but now it is causing my rig to brown out bad, also it only wants to retract the line and does not want to extend the line. I am using my aux channel set in 3 position on my RX. I am running a Holmes Hobbies BR-XL waterproof ESC with a Holmes Hobbies Torquemaster Pro 27T controlled by a Spektrum DX3C and a 301 reciever. when I disconnect the winch controller everything works great, but as soon as I connect the winch controller it makes my rig run like it has a dead battery. So confused  |

You should wire the power of the winch controller directly to your battery plug or get an external BEC and you could power your 9reliever that way. Either way would work fine, put signal still needs to get to receiver so the BEC is probably easiest. The internal BEC in the esc isn't enough amperage to handle all the stuff, plus spek recovered are very sensitive when it comes to voltage. |

So the hey ok winch controller is better than the new wired one from rc4wd.

| Re: RC4wd new Warn winch problems
Just wondering if you got the problem solved with the heyok controller. I'm wanting to run duel winches on mine. I don't want to get two wireless ones. Would like to get two wired ones. My remote has two 3 position switchs.

Would like to have those servo winches. But that's not in my budget. I have the warn wireless winch and it does what I need it to. I have the same rear bumper as you is why I want to do the duel warn winches. Just not sure what heyok controller to get for them.

Heyok can make a custom one with a toggle and 2 feeders so you only need 1 channel.
