Ready Winch
 

The easy way to add a winch to your rig!

This is a combination package of my wireless winch controller and servo winch.
Add your own winch line and hook.

Plug it in between your rig's battery and ESC, mount the waterproofed controller and the winch servo and you are good to go!

Doesn't use up a channel on your transmitter because it comes with its own control.

This controller needs 6 to 12 volts to operate (a 2S or 3S lipo pack will work).

Part number RW1
Price $80

Also available with Soft Start for $10 more. This causes the winch power to ramp up over about 1/2 a second in order to be more gentle on the winch gears and line.
Part number RW1SS
Price $90

Do you want the plastic case for the receiver? Add $4

I'll spread the word on this one Al, a lot of guy's I know want a servo winch but are still running stock radio's!

Re: Ready Winch
 

Thanks!
Hope I can help them.

Re: Ready Winch
 

3s?
4s?
Torque ratings?
Either way i think its a good deal! Just curious.....

Re: Ready Winch
 

Good questions!
3S max as I think the motor would go up in smoke on 4S

I just use whatever I can find for an inexpensive high torque metal gear servo. Typically it is a TowerPro 996 or equivalent. So the torque will be on the order of 180 oz in at 6 volts if the specs are to be believed.

Re: Ready Winch
 

This i like! Are they made to order or do you have stock built up?

Re: Ready Winch
 

Good to hear!
Mostly made to order. Right now I have one ready.

Re: Ready Winch

Just wondering how these act and how long they're living for yall on 3s...it looks awesome!

Re: Ready Winch
 

mine has been going strong on 3s since I got it, it will lift itself up in the air as high as I can hook my cable to...rig weighs almost 10 pounds....I have another of Heyok wireless control servo winch...been going many months on 3s...

Re: Ready Winch
 

Hey Al, any chance of getting a wired controller that will run directly from 3S ?

Re: Ready Winch
 

This will do what you are asking, I think:

Unless you mean something different by "wired controller".

Re: Ready Winch
 

I have that controller. I just haven't bought a winch for it yet. I was wondering if you have any plans to make a higher voltage version of your smaller 6V controller.

I mistakenly asked about 3S, what I meant was a 7.4V version. I run my ESC's BEC at 7.4V. A smaller wired which controller I could run right off my receiver or small dedicated 2S battery is what I actuall meant.

If not I'll stay with original plan and run a smal 850mAH 3S to power my LED light bars and winch through you dimmer switch and 4 amp winch controller.
