3Racing Winch parts help

[Wes S.]

I bought a 3Racing winch recently and mounted it up. It says I need a "Y-cable" in order to hook it up to the receiver. Where the heck can I find one or what is a good substitute (other than using a battery-I'll think about it)? Thanks

What are you trying to split with a Y cable? Rx connector, jst connector, battery lead…? All of those Y cables are available from the same place anyway. Check eBay, LHS, amazon, RPP, Tower, basically anywhere you'd get anything else hobby related. I don't remember needing a splitter with that winch but I also use the HeyOk controllers and not the stock controller.

I looked it up and it has two Tamiya female connectors and one male. Goes from the controller to the battery and ESC. Amazon and RPP don't have them, about to check Tower but doubt they will...

Get a soldering iron instead and whatever connectors are going to make your life easier. You shouldn't be using Tamiya connectors on your rig anywhere for any reason. They're garbage. Or as mentioned before, just order the HeyOk 3Racing winch controller. It works awesome.
