Flysky GT5 Channel 4 winch control

[farmjohn42]

Hello, I have a Flysky GT5 that I am operating a H.O.G winch in my Capra. The winch operates too fast and i would like so slow the speed. I have the winch on channel 4, is there a way to slow the speed of the winch by using the transmitter or do I need to use a slow converter wire harness from Ebay to place between the winch and the receiver?
Thanks

I originally ordered the winch from RC Addicts but i cannot find the winch on their site. Here is the link on Amain. The winch is made by Precision RC Works, in doing a quick search my deduction is they may no longer manufacture it as even AMain is discontinued.

I had to use this:

Servo winches can't be rate adjusted unless you use a speed control for the winch controller. Can get a cheap micro esc off Amazon. Otherwise only other option is to reduce voltage going to the winch.

You do realize for the same price you can get a micro ESC off Amazon and not wait a month right? I mention this because what you're ordering not even sure it will work, a micro esc for $10 off Amazon will for sure work.

ESC for a Servo ?
Never hear this before.
Intresting.
How does that work ?
Can you use ESC without trigger ?
How do you adjust that to right speed ?

People use micro speed controls all the time for winches. "Servo winches" ARE NOT SERVOS. They are nothing more than an electric motor and gears inside a servo case. That makes them absolutely no different than the motor and transmission that powers these rigs.

Servo winches because of the gear reduction can be easily made more powerful than your common scale winch and more durable. Using the servo case makes mounting one much more simple and more options of ways to mount them without custom fabricating.

The speed change is easy to do in any decent transmitter. Travel adjustment. Turn that down the esc reads it as low throttle input and the winch moves slow. Set the travel at 100% and esc reads that as 100% throttle.

Is this what you are referring to? (I have brushless system i run on 3s)

Is there a better item for the task?

[tigris99]

Not that specific one and that one is probably more than is needed but ya, smallest brushed esc you can find that will run on 3s.

And buying a slower N30 motor?

After a $10.00 eBay delay wire assembly that didn't work, I ordered this from Yeah Racing.

The Yeah Racing is very simple after rereading the instructions for the setting I wanted. Also it has less wiring to connect than the Dragon controller. I am still working on slowing down the speed so I can creep it but I believe Yeah Racing works a little slower and I feel I have a little better control of the winch now now as the action is smooth not glitchy with the variable knob control of the Flysky GT5. I will mess with it more as I have time to determine the true effectiveness.

I tried this as I gambled it might work but did not. Slowed the winch but was glitchy with the Dragon controller installed.

Just a thought for you:
Variable Speed Winch Controller

Or I could make something custom.

Lots of information to read. Thank you.

You can just plug it into channel 5 or 6, the knobs on top. the farther you turn the knob the faster it moves, super simple.

In reality, it did not work the way one would think. it was not variable, only on off.
