UPDATE: we're looking at early to mid October to have winches in stock. Pre orders will be shipped asap with free winch rope and hook. Also, we'll have upgrade/replacement motors and gears in several gear ratios and 4 different motor specs for ultimate tuneability. |

I got one of these over the summer through locked-up RC. I finally got to use it for the first time today. It's nothing short of incredible. I have it mounted to the front of my 1/6th scale Willys (14lbs. of fun!) I got stuck on a climb, so I powered out the winch line and hooked it onto a log at the top of the hill. It started to literally drag the log!! Plan B: someone put their feet on the log, the jerp slowly starts to be dragged forward, uphill against the drag brake on the Tekin FXr. The incline has to be 60* minimum. At one point, the front wheels got jammed on a small ledge, the back of the Jeep starts to get lifted into the air. I'm using a Hyok winch control, but feeding power through the Rx, I need to change that. It drew enough current to shut everything down for a minute. I'll look at the other offerings that Hyok sells for the high current draw. To everyone that's waiting for theirs- have patience, these winches are beautifully machined and finished and are unbelievably powerful. It will be well worth the wait. |

Hey guys, Sorry for the lack of updates, I got a new phone and forgot to install tapatalk! Winch 'bits' are on the way to me, and Pre-Orders will be shipped out asap. Then, and only then will stock be available on the website... pre-orders first I have a small stock of winch controllers available for pre-orders too, and the same applies. I'll also have upgrade motors and gearsets available for those who want something a little faster, but dont need the ball-tearing strength Speaking of... BigSki... I did warn you it was a beast. Wait till you throw 3cell at it |

Hi Guys, Sorry for the lack of contact. I got swamped with work and the weeks have just flown by. I thought I had time to assemble some winches a week ago, but the wife hit a kangaroo and wrote off the car which threw a spanner in the works, then my son was sick with a high temperature and went for a ride in an ambulance when his temp reached 40.2c... Anyway...all good now, but no chance of these winches being received overseas by Christmas, and I'm really sorry for that. All the parts are here, so I will keep this thread updated as often as I can, and get those winches assembled and in the post as soon as possible. |
