Question on 3 racing winch.

[jayman43]

I am interested in getting a winch for my crawler. I have been looking on eBay and came across 3 racing's winch. The listing says that there are two ways to control it. With a switch that I can buy and mount to the rig itself. Or a controller that will work with my three function transmitter. I can't seem to find the controller that will make it work with my transmitter. But I saw yeah racing has a winch controller that Looks like a key fob that locks automobiles. I was wondering if they would be compatible.

Thanks a lot

My son absolutely destroyed that winch this weekend. If you do use it, you can use a pot from an old servo as a winch controller.

But yeah, make your own servo winch/controller or have heyok set you up.

How long did your son use it? My rig doesn't get much use. Its something to tinker with when wrestling isn't on.

I have the RC4WD Warn winch
combined with the Heyok wireless controller.

The Heyok controllers have an electronic "line hold"
So that improves the scale looking winches spooling out
due to a rig weighing in more then one might like.

The servo winches usually have more gear reduction
and so the Heyok "line hold" should be even stronger.

The wireless controllers come with a remote fob (like a key fob).
TX/RX controllers don't use a remote fob.

Only thing is... the servo winches don't really look scale.

I run my RC4WD Warn off a 3s LiPo 11.1v -12.6v ( LVC set to 3.7v per cell)
And the Heyok wireless handles the 3s voltage/amp draw just fine.

3.7 LVC is less stressful on a LiPo batteries
And some claim to run them down as low as 3.0v per cell
I personally wouldn't set the LVC below 3.5v per cell.

I recommend Heyok and their electronic products to everyone.
You will find that user support is their top priority
and the proprietor will answer any questions you may have.

response to inquiry is prompt and courteous

Heyok is a vendor here...
so search that user name and ask questions.

The Heyok controller should work fine using the 3 racing winches.
But ask Heyok direct...
rather then get mixed opinions.

Decided to wait on the winch for now. But I was wondering, are the ax10 and the scx10 shocks the same length? My rig is a converted ax10 with a scx10 frame. Thanks.

I believe the SCX-10 shock length is 90 mm

and the AX10 shock length is 73-103 mm

the later is dependent as to which lower shock eye length is utilized.
Might even be some internal/external spacers that can limit
compression and extension.

If I remember correctly...
I believe my Wraith kit also came with extra parts
to alter the original shock lengths.

google is your best tool to find more information.

ie:

Axial Racing - Product Release – AX10 Scorpion RTC (AX90011)

Axial Racing - SCX10

and...

SCX10 shock question...

[TacoCrawler]

oh and all that ^ said

I run Traxxas 100mm shocks on my SCX-10
tho' that mm length would be the longest one should use
on the SCX-10.

I still use the stock Wraith shock on my
Wraith custom 1/6 jeep tj build.
I use the longest lower eye(s)
so probably 103 mm would be my guess.

I'd believe the Wraith as well the AX10
could utilize 110mm without much concern.
Purdy much the AX10 and Wraith are the same I believe.

Eventually I'll change my Wraith shocks to Traxxas BB's
or maybe equal in diameter but longer then 100mm.
The Axial Wraith shocks leak alot... even if they do work ok.
But I feel 110mm would work better for me...
and likely on the AX10 as well.

take that garbage winch and just use it for looks, that what I did and rock the servo winch
