Oh well, nothin!

I put this in the General Scaler thing cause it can be applied to all the scalers, yes?

See how easy that is?

It would work, especially if you needed to get up the hill in a split second lol. The only thing is the added bulk of an extra ESC, extra motor and extra battery pack in something that's already tight for extra space. A servo winch still seems like the best idea.

x2.
I did something like this, but used an MRC motor and trans because of the size. And even under a huge JK Newbrite lid, it was a tight fit.

PTO Winch w/Rolling Fairlead

Here is the trans and esc. Shaft leads up front to a gear driven winch.
