|  Bulldog vs. 3racing winch
I have shurched and couldn't find a comparison. I am looking to get my first winch and I am just looking for the pros and cons of each and what every one recommends. Thanks Adam |

I don't know much about the bulldog, but I do have the 3racing winch. I got the 3Racing winch mostly for looks. The weight rating on the 3R winch is a whopping 2lbs. I believe the Bulldog actually has some pulling torque. Just looked at their site. Looks like the Bulldog is a brushed motor, but it has twice the pulling power of the 3R winch. Either way, I wouldn't be using it for anything more than looks for the most part. If I wanted one with useful torque, I'd pony up the cash for the MSD winch.

I arched msd scale winch. My brother in law has the bulldog and he likes it but I guess some of the gears stripped out in it and it took rc4wd forever to send him the parts to fix it

Sorry about the spelling I'm using my phone and I miss a key every now and again. If I did make my own winch would a steering servo out of a stock tmaxx work ok. That is all I have right now

What some have done is used the 3Racing as a dummy winch with a servo winch hidden under the body. Still cheaper than the MSD by a long shot

You can use a Pro-line dummy winch and run the line like that. A servo winch is stronger anyways. you should use a metal tower-pro servo. they are cheap but strong enough for a winch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKlXg6qQcgw |

Depends on how much torque it's got. go buy yourself a hs 645 servo it's a metal gered servo with 130 oz of torque I think?  | |

Thanks a lot I still don't know if I'm going to go with a coverted servo or something like the bulldog. I like the scale looks of the bull dog but building my own would be cool. Are there any other companies out there that build winches?

Not that I know of. I personally would rather build than buy. But that's not always possible.  | |
