Default What is everyone using for winch line.

My winch line snapped on me last comp fall off a cliff. What are some options for a 3racing winch on a wraith slightly modified?

Tuf-line XP. All different strengths available (I use 250lb on my 7990 servo winch) and the olive green color that's available is much more scale looking than white. I buy it in bulk at my local fishing/outdoor store.

Well just bought a 3 racing winch and locked up winch line myself. Wasn't a big fan of the bulldog winch.

What didn't you like about the bulldog winch, I've had a 3racing winch and it didn't impress me at all, I've always though the bulldog was better.

The look and it seemed to tangle on the spool alot. Think thats due to the metal wire. Once I get my 3 Racing one I'll take the line off that and put it on my Bulldog. My main reason for the 3 racing is the weld winch look.
