I just searched and there are a couple on eBay for about $5.
You could always just make one. Buy the ends and solder one up or just solder the winch controller battery wires to the ESC wires. A few different options, just depends on how you want to go about it.

No problem. Just peel some of the insulation of the batt wires on the esc, about half way between plug and the esc should be good. Remove the batt connector from the end of the winch controller wires and strip the insulation off the end. Then just solder the wires and cover the joints with some liquid electrical tape.
Thats how I did mine and it is working perfectly.
