Default Winch and winch wireless controller

Hello good people. Need advice.
Was thinking of doing or at least trying to build my own servo winch. I know I can buy it but tight on budget now.... so my question is to operate it can I use any wireless controllers, ie rc4wd one or yeah racing one? Or it has to be specific build for that servo winch?

Most of the time when you run a servo winch it ran off of a spare channel on the radio. To increase power you can connect a BEC up to it.

I don't have a spare channel, so wanted to use it with rc4wd wireless controller. Since a winch requires only power i don't see an issue..... but ibdobt know much about ut
