| 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 The Ready Winch was reviewed on Infected RC: http://www.infectedrc.com/#!HeyOK-Pe...f231794c60afc1 Last edited by heyok; 08-03-2018 at 03:06 PM. Reason: Added Soft Start option |

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. | |

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. | |
