|  winch installed!
FINALLY got my winch finished. after three different designs and cutting of sh!t that ended up not needing to be cut its in!!!!!! i just used a 1/4 servo. gutted it and just used the motor. mad a spool about 9 months ago that i attached. and just used some string. thinking im going to go raid my step dads tackle box for 10lb fishing line  it doesnt have a ton of torque but enough to get me off for high centered. ill let the pics explain the rest.....    all thats left is oring the axles and prolly get a little more wight on the front axle!!! |

Im going to put some lead in my front end!! LOL, when I barely push down on the front it helps climb a little/more traction, plus it doesnt flip backwards That sounds wrong but its trueeeeeee!! |

nice job... thinking outside the box is cool... as for weight... I run 7oz of lead in each fron tire and it has helped a bunch... I didnt have bb's available so I used oval 1/4 oz fishing weights....it seems to work good... Keep us updated with your winch !!!! |

today i plan on installing the fishing line and mount the winch better. i pulls right off the velcro. i was hoping that would work so i could just remove it easily. i have some angle aluminum that i am going to mount it with. hopefully pics to follow after finished!
