RC4WD winch question... Newb!
 

So this is prob an easy question for most but I don't understand it.. I am looking in to a rc4wd winch without remote... So ill need a 3 position 3rd channel... Soo here's my question... Do I have a 3 position 3rd channel? I'm running a spektrum dx4s....

Sorry if this is stupid!

All you have to do is check the other channels and see if they have two other positions besides the neutral (off) position.

Do youhave the manual for the radio? That will tell you, also you could do a search for what you need to know. I think the dx4s has 3 position 3rd and 4th channels.

Correct me if I am wrong but the 4 in DX4S means 4 channels. So yes you have 3 channels.

The number of channels isn't the problem.. It being a two position or 3 position switch on a channel is..

Not really stupid at all. I just went and tried to make heads or tails of that manual...... :???::?::|:?::x

I can't tell from the manual. You probably have your A switch set up as throttle trim right now, and probably B switch for steering trim. Check your C and D switches, do they feel the same as A & B? (ie, centered with 'On positions on both sides) Or do they feel like simple two position On-Off switches? (My wife's DX3s has a two position third channel, don't know what you have.)

Even if C & D are two position switches, there's still a couple options.
HeyOk has a winch controller for two position switches.
Or, another option is it looks like you can commandeer your A & B switches and use one of those. I run all my throttles at '0' trim and don't generally need to adjust them, so I'd snag the A switch (if that's your current throttle trim) and use that switch for your winch.

I have a traxxas TQI from a summit and was wanted to use the locker channel but I don't know if it would work

I just hooked up a bulldog winch to my dx3c. It works but in neutral position the winch is still running slower speed but it is still running. Is there anyway to set neutral position to 0v on the DX3c or is there an adjustment on the winch controller in the wiring? My only other option is to splice in a toggle switch, I really don't want to do that it takes away from the realism factor.

NM.. I found the fix. went into the Sub Trim function for the AUX (Ch3) Had to set it to around H57 before it would stop running:ror:
