the 3r racing one works fine for me....$39.00 or so...then there's the CLAW for about $150....and yo can go up from there if you can find one... |

yea 3Racing winch for sure, just got mine off ebay and took it about 11 days to get here not bad considering it came from hong kong and only 4 bucks to ship. Best price i have found for it so far: http://cgi.ebay.com/3RACING-Auto-Cra...item53de9cd27b |

spend a few more bucks and support a supporting member, and you'll get it much faster too http://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/3racr01-27.htm |

Get a 3-racing winch and use it until it dies. Then make a servo winch and run the winch cable through the 3-racing winch....the best of both worlds.

| x2. That's what my last 3-racing winch is being used for. That, and mocking up for customer builds. The little motors in these winches just don't seem to hold up for me .
