RC6GS V2 control my winch
 

I am trying to control my Integy winch through my RC6GS V2 controller and can not figure out how to do this, can anyone help me? This is on my TRX4 Sport running a Hobbywing 1080 ESC off a TRaxxas 5000 3s battery. What do I need to make this work, it is a pain to try and use the "fob". THANKS

Just wire your winch controller to either 5th or 6th channel on the receiver, they are 3 position switches, perfect for driving a winch.

You need something between the RX and the winch to make it work. More than likely when you plug it directly into the RX the winch just spins in one direction. You need a winch controller.

You can do a couple of different things for controlling winches...
• You can get an RC4WD controller. They work, but they are not waterproof, they are expensive, and they are very low power.

There is also the wireless version of this is well with the same issues.
• Hey OK has some great options. This guy makes some great stuff that just plain works.
He makes these in both wired and wireless.

• As much as I like to support guys like Hey OK, I go a bit more simplistic, and just install a HW1060 as a winch controller. The only real trick to it is removing the red wire going from the HW1060 to the RX. But, other than that, its easy-peasy...

I use a Precision RC Works cheapy winch controller. It's easy to program with the 4 little switches. You can waterproof it with electrical tape, silicone goo, hot glue.
It doesn't need to plug into a battery, just plug into the receiver with the servo connector and it's good to go.

Ok so I purchased a PrecisionRCWorks Raptor Plug and Pull winch controller. Connected the RX lead to the 5 and 6 channels on my RadioLink R7FG and the other leads to the winch and power... turned it on and all the winch did was run in and did not stop no matter what position I placed the 5 or 6 channel switch in on the TX. I did reconnect the RX lead to the steering channel as suggested by Precision and the winch did nothing... ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT IS WRONG???

I think you have your Sub Trim set incorrectly, go to the SUB-TRIM option on your radio and adust it to the point where the winch dosent move.

Your winch controller is probably looking for a three-position type of servo signal in order to work. It would be good to verify that you are giving it such a signal. An easy way to check this is to plug a servo into that channel. Then try the channel. You should be able to get the servo to swing left, stop in the center and move right. If you can verify that, then turn up the end points (travel adjustment) to max if needed.
