Default 8274 winches

These are the coveted 8274 winches that have been previously sold through MSD.

For those of you that may not know, these are a scale replica of the unstoppable Warn 8274. Just like its 1:1 winch the scale version sets a new standard to follow. These little guys pack a mean punch.

These winches will be available starting Sept.1 . the first run will be approx. 30. If you have been in the market for the last scale winch you will ever need to buy, or simply want the best constructed/hardest pulling/longest lasting winch then this is your winch.

I have several of these winches, I personally take the servo board off of the winches and wire them directly to a B1R w/ a 4 cell cap. thus allowing me to be able to run the winch off of 14v.( generating a line speed of about a foot per 1.5 sec) This has been done on some for several years with no failures. "CAUTION" If you decide to order one of these and set it up in the above mentioned fashion, great care should be taken to avoid injury!!!!

There is several videos around that show this winch pulling a full size Toyota pickup (on a shop floor) @ 7.0 volts. Another video shows it pulling a Jeep Cherokee on a gravel road. (I will try and link those)

Let me stress that these will not dissappear from the market as they will be sold direct from the original designer(I'm just helping him out). Also keep in mind Neil is a machinist and does this product out of a love for it, therefore he is not making a living off of this product and will be building them in his spare time. Neil is a man of his word and a great guy to deal with. All orders will go through his E-mail. If you have any general questions about this product then you can pm me or send it to the following email.

All Orders should be placed here: Quicksandcustoms@comcast.net

The price for these will be 225.00 shipped in the US. Shipping charges will apply shipped anywhere else.


This product has an amazing attention to detail

*winches come with a machined stainless hook and an aluminum fairlead*

I have been running mine on 4s for well over a year with ZERO issues except countless broken lines and several hooks (one of which I think is still in orbit from 2010).

The price is higher than all other winches but it's far superior than them too, not to mention way cooler.

Hello, I thought it might be a good time for me to jump in
and give a quick introduction and history.

I don't think most people know this, but it was a friend of
mine and myself that designed the QS8274 back in '07 and made
the prototype used by Grizzly4x4.

It was originally built for the fun of it and not necessarily production.
We wanted this winch to look good and pull better, so we designed it
around the most powerful servo we knew of, the Hitec 5955TG.
We weren't really designers, and only marginal machinists,
so I am very happy that it has proven itself well.

Since then, I have made about 40 and assembled all but the last 11,
which I do not know the status of. After the 1st batch was sold by MSD,
I had intended to continue producing them but had some problems
that ended my machining capabilities for over a year. Then for other reasons,
more time went by 'til this year, when Ben/MSD urged me to start another small batch.
Then a call from John at SDS Customz Spurred me to get them finished and sent out
days before the MSD scale Nat'ls.

For a couple of reasons, I have made the decision to offer them directly.
They will be sold in an assembled, but unwired form. If you wish to purchase
them ready to run from MSD, that may still be an option in the future.
(provided Ben and I work out the details)

I am telling you this to clear the air a little on the whole situation and
to take full responsibility for the time that has gone by with no availability.

I do have to stress that the release date of Sept. 1 is my goal, but not
certain. Since I have only 1 machine, parts will be made as the opportunity presents
itself. I will, however, try my best to get 30 of them done close to that time. (About
half done now)

That being said, I will not ask for, or except any payment until I have them ready
to ship. That may have to happen in 2 batches of about 15, because I most likely
won't be able to drop $3,000 for servos. However, if you are interested in getting
in on the next batch, please contact me at the fore mentioned email address.

I would also like to quickly thank those who have helped me too this point.
My parents, friend (and co-designer) Dan, Chris, Ben, Ben at MSD and John of SDS Customz.

I use Heyok's as well, and it sure does the job so well. Honestly, much more precise(centered)/hold than the original controller.

Waterproof the servo control board but the winch itself is fine.



No major reworking this year, just some tweaking.
Hope this helps

I am using a Hitec servo control board from an old servo. I replaced the pot with resistors.

I'll take two or three of them for my Scalers and some further for my buddies in Switzerland; great job John, thanks

Can you bring them to the Nats for me; so I'll keep the shipping costs

So far the only way I have seen for the Heyok controler to live is to run through the reciever which will limit the voltage you can run tho the voltage that your reciever will hold up to.(not enough for me) I run all of my 8274's at or above 12 volts. I run B1R's fully waterproofed on all of mine with a 4s cap. The drag brake is unsurpassed. I know these are very impressive on 8-9volts though I think you can imagine what happens on 12volts and up.

Right out of the box I wire them directly to a B1R and dont bother with the servo board, though if you wanted to run the board you just need to waterproof it and you should be good to go. I havent had any issues on any of my winches.

If you want them place an order with Neil and if he can get them to me before I leave for Nats on 9-7 I would be happy to help out and deliver them to you at Nats.

Cool. I have a waterproof lrp esc I can use for it

Hey SD, how do you waterproof your B1R and other similar ESC's? Just fill em up with dialectric grease?

I am asumming they come just like the originals...if that is so, it is just the stock servo board covered in shrink wrap and installed in line with the rx plug on the end like any servo.The board is just external since there is no room to hide it inside the winch.
