yeah, i have a pic somewhere but with the old rc4wd winches and the new integy winches you buy 2 of them, and then just run the motor units on both sides. reversing polarity of one of the motors.

couple guys here have done it.

get me 2 tickets… she saw the commercial and freaked the **** out...

[badhoopty]

hey RICK!

might be too late but it just occured to me if you are making new spools, maybe make them a bit skinnier so i can fit more winchline on.

if too late, nbd.

I have the locked up stuff. Not really sure how it holds up I've only used my winch maybe 4 or 5 times. It looks good though I have the silver.

i still really like the mcmaster stainless cable i run on timmy. its absolutely bulletproof, and supple considering its woven steel braid. i would run that on all my trucks, but you need a big servo spool like i have on timmy since it takes up so much room.

the locked up stuff is good, but i think my next stuff will be just going to a fishing store and picking up some spiderwire or that dyneema stuff. i want a spool of 200' and just be done with it.

way way back i had some funky flat kevlar cable that was made for rc boats on my f350. that shit was actually REALLY tough and you could probably fit 30-40 feet on a 3racing or rc4wd winch. that was around 6 or so years ago? i think i got it off tower...

[badhoopty]

i think this was the stuff i used on my old f350 setup.

TowerHobbies.com | Sullivan Bulk Kevlar Cable 30'

might get some more next time i have a tower order.

speaking of… associated is re-releasing the worlds car. i got 3 of them on order…

[johnnyh66]

My McMaster cable (on both rigs, worse on Hera) keeps falling off the spool... not evertime but the more I use it w/o rewinding it, like during a comp, the more likely it is to fall off and then it kinks. Plus, I just can't fit enough on the spool.

I've had to unhook it from the front bumper in order to reach an anchor point a few times... just leaving the snatch block hanging on the line not doing anything.
Not very scale.

[johnnyh66]

I still want one!

[badhoopty]

if i had more freaking room, id get me a uber clean 4door sidekick or tracker and go nuts on it.

[Die-Laughing]

Ok.. I got the monster truck tickets! Me, Chris, Trey, Jason & Liz.

Yeah.. I'll make some smaller drums Jason.
