| Mounting servo winch?
How are you guys mounting your servo winches? Just built one up and while waiting for my hardware to program the GT3b i wanted to mount it up but cant visualize a way to do it yet. Photos would be awesome! Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk |

I brazed a steel bracket onto a Tough Armor rock slider. There was just enough room for both front and rear winches. I was going to use some brake line for a winch cable guide but it seems to work fine just routed outside the shock hoop. |

CC01 tub with internal frame and delrin skid. Quick and dirty - Vertical delrin mounting points close to transfer case. Tube comes from front bumper under steering servo, motor and trans back to block in front of winch pulley. |

Pricey, but I have wanted to try one of these blocks and mounts. It acts like a bearing block, so the side load isn't on the servos bearings. ServoBlocks |

You can mount the front on the side of the frame across from your steering servo, works great their. |
