Have you by any chance noticed all the other threads about this winch?
Let us know how quickly it blows up.You get what you pay for.

got one on the way. confirmed via HK postal its on its way as of the 31st.

Even it if dies out quick, i ll just get a new motor/GR unit with better power and install it. can get the new motor/gr for 20ish bux. so it ll still be cheap even if i do replace the motor/gr.


yes you get what you pay for. but this is a unit thats 3/4s the way to useable for under 30.00. you can even get a DECENT looking non working scale winch for under 30.00.

You can make a servo winch out of a 200oz servo @4.8 volts 12.5lbs stall @6 volts 14.3lbs stall. I saw the vid of that winch and was not impressed with the lag it had while pulling a car that weighed 2.1lbs up a couple of feet. I have 3 speeds in and out. The servo An MG 995 can be had for as little as $14 shipped. I have used this servo for months, with no issues.
This vid is all winch and a 9.2lb scale tube rig.

I used a bobon from a sewing machine. I'm looking for thinner line the line I'm using now is over kill it's 150 lb test out rigger line. My father who fishes regularly said I could use monofilement line 30lb test. He said it's a 1/4 of the diameter so I could put 2/3 more line on so like 9' instead of 35" so I'm ecited try the new line. I have to wait to get my chassis back from RC4WD. And I have a scale Warn winch body that I'm making to pass the line through.

ordered 2 just for the hell of it. I'm not really expecting much so the purchase is mainly for looks.When I have a nice rig worthy of a $200 winch I will buy it to support a fellow crawler and because it's made in America.

Neither of the 2 winches 3racing or stefans are made in america.
I would much rather support stefan just because of his hard work and dedication, But 200 bones is hard to swallow at the moment.

I wasn't aware of that.Well,like you said if the $ was there i'd rather spend it on Stephan's or on any of the other scale winches I've seen for sale here on RCC including MSD's.

i have to put this out there, if us insane people with 3 or 4 rigs wanna run scale winches i think the 3racing 1 is a way to do that without spending a years sallary to do so..
its just a more economical way to have a cool scale goody to pull ur ass out of a hole.. lolz

[bcrofts]

im all over one for that price
