Default After alot of searching I still can't find a cheap fake winch

Hey guys, I have my F350 body mounted to my SCX10 kit now, and with the Axial SCX10 TR bumper I am using there is a gap between the bottom of the front grill of the truck and the bumper. I think a winch mounted to the bumper would cover this gap quite nicely. But after searching for quite a while on both this site and the rest of the web the only cheap winches/fake winches I can find are these 2:

http://www.rpphobby.com/ProductDetai...ode=PRO6040-00

and

http://www.toyeast.com/v3/pdtdetail...._id=A02120379#

The 2nd one is a crappy one from Hong Kong and the first one comes with alot stuff I don't need.

Does anyone know of any cheap, fake winches out there? I don't plan on ever needing a real winch as I am one of those "if it gets stuck, pick it up" guys.

If you want a fake winch just the 3racing winch for 27$ even if you never use it, it has the best appearance for the price. The proline one is nice but isn't very realistic looking. There are resin copies of the 3 racing and scaleoffroad winches and they cost just as much or more than the $27 for the 3 racing. so that's your best bet.

What's wrong with the "crappy" one from Hong Kong? For 12.99 it's much better looking than the pro-line, plus it actually works if you ever want to plug it in. Just about everyone uses them.

I just got another 3racing winch last night on ebay for 18 bucks with shipping.

If the 3racing and proline winches aren't cheap enough for this dude, he definitely won't be getting a $59 msd winch

Exactly my thought as well, if the "working" 3 racing winch is to much he'd be better off making his own.
