Has anyone tried the whole winch thing any other way than taking a 1/18th axle?? It's jsut so big. I was thinking about a sailboat winch, but can't find any online anywhere

Try searching outside of the Nylint forums, it's amazing what you will find.

Already saw that badger..thanks, but i want something different...smaller...

you could use a motor out of one of these http://images.search.yahoo.com/searc...tt=35&ei=UTF-8

Use a micro servo. There are MANY sizes of servo available, one of them should do what you want.

my buddy actually has one of those, and before he got his 1:6th, he tried to tell me that thing was going to out-do the nylint...FAT CHANCE....anyway....the servo above looks good, I apperciate it! THanks for the help!

I love you Badger......Funny Man McGee!

The 1/18th axle is the only way, The truck is locked and you will not be able to pull it with anything(not even the 1/18th), Are you going for something for show or a real winch? Mine get weight on the front, but it won't pull it.

zach3713 · 02-02-2006, 08:31 PM

well then...when are you builing me one?

But, just like in the real world, unless the (1:1) truck has just hydrolocked it's engine in a lake, or is stuck inverted in a crevasse, it, and the 1:6 Nylint, is going to be HELPING, not sitting on it's butt waiting to be pulled to wherever.
If your truck can't make it up a SERIOUS rockwall, find a good anchor and start running cable.
A winch can make the difference between climbing, and falling over on your head, but there's no sense in making it do ALL the work, when you have two more HUGE motors and gear reductions in those axles.

exactly, you have it, its just a helpin hand in a sitchyation

In the Tech. page, there is a Step-by-Step way to build a winch from a servo....Unless you have already checked it out:-P

zach3713 · 02-03-2006, 08:05 PM

I saw that, was jsut wonderiong if anyone ha gone about it in a different way...

Nylintjunkie · 02-04-2006, 08:28 PM

i use the 1/18 method and with it in low gear using a 7.2 volt pack to run the winch this thing will pick my 1/6 off the ground and i have soem funny video of my new E-maxx getin pulled over a rock pile that it couldnt climb by my 150$ wally cralwer.

but anyways the 1/18 rear axel is a very effective winch!

zach3713 · 02-05-2006, 10:23 AM

where are you mounting the big dang axle?? That's my only problem with that route...

TLTCrawlin · 02-05-2006, 10:27 AM

Nylintjunkie · 02-05-2006, 04:22 PM
