In stock now! SSD Ox Power Winch (Free Spool)

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

Perfect timing! I needed to place an order! :shock:

Looks a lot like the Quicksand winch. Beautiful! "thumbsup"
How much can it lift and how much voltage can it handle?

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

Been hoping for this for a long time. Killer work SSD.

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

do you have spec's on how much it will pull?

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

$150 out of your wallet, No happy ending even :(

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

You shouldn't take it so seriously. I bet there is a happy ending. :ror:

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

I guess I'll have to see how this one works against a Quicksand winch...

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

A winch is essentially a motor, so if your previous winch controller controls a motor it should work with this one.

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

The specs on RPP's site say that an RC4WD or Heyok controller is recommended.

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

Super awesome and rad!!!!!!!!!!


Guess you don't want to know the price of the original Quicksand winch then!

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

original quicksand had videos showing how much it can pull. This doesnt even have a spec listed. I'll wait to see if its worth it. "thumbsup"

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

Just guessing but based on the size of the motor I doesn't look like a servo winch but larger than your typical gear motor winch. Should set somewhere between a servo winch and a gear motor winch in terms of power.

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

Based on the pics of it on the Deadbolt, it looks to me like the dimensions are the same as the Quicksand and that would make it a servo motor under that motor cover.
Just guessing though.

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

The O.G. Quicksand was massively underpriced.

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

You would probably know better than me :ror:

I'm thinking it looks a little short both in terms of width (of the motor) and height (of the winch - I'm thinking gear set wouldn't have enough room ) for a servo. Also if I where to build one and try to make a decent margin of go with the much cheaper non-servo option.

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

I agree with ya, but hopefully it isn't a little motor with a bunch of plastic around it... It looks a lot better than most of the winches out there on the market except for the quicksand. Kinda surprised they didn't let the lever touch the brake wheel.

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

Look at the pic mounted on the Deadbolt. The winch is sitting below the top of the framerails, down inside the bumper. If it was sitting on top of the rails it would be taller than the hood, just like a Quicksand. 8)

Will this work with HeyOk winch controllers?
It says you can use rc4wd or HeyOk winch controllers. But I don't think you can connect that little white plug to the HeyOk controller. Correct me if I'm wrong. I am considering one for my JK

This question might sound a little dumb but, will I need another BEC for the winch and winch controller? I am still not sure if I should run it off a separate battery or just connect it to the main battery.

Can someone please help me out? Do I need another BEC for the winch?

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

I hope so too.

Yea, I'm a little bummed the lever doesn't bounce off the brake wheel also. :ror: oh well, small complaint.
Didn't stop me from ordering mine, guess we will see soon. "thumbsup"

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

Many factors come into play. It depends on the power of the servo and the winch. Sometimes you can get away with running steering and a winch off the same BEC. You can try it, if the truck shuts down when you are winching and turning at the same time, you need another BEC.
I always run a BEC just for the winch so I don't have to worry about it.

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

Thanks Grizzly4x4 [emoji1373][emoji1373]. Most winches can handle up to 11.1v or 3s, but my servo can only handle 7.4v or 2s (Hitec 7950TH). Do you think if I run a separate battery for the winches help solve the problem? Or should I get another BEC instead? Thanks.

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

No problem. I wouldn't run a separate battery. That's a more expensive solution and it adds a lot more weight.
I run my winches off 6v, in fact the Heyok controller can only handle 6v max. I just set the CCBEC to 6v and wire it to the controller.

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

The new SSD winch is based on a high torque servo and can work with up to 11.1v.
The motor plug is the same as the RC4WD winches so it is easy to plug into an RC4WD controller. But can be cut off for use with HeyOK controller.
It lifted over 30Kg on 11.1v.
Using a normal winch controller you can expect it to lift 15Kg.
Just make sure you have a good winch line. Most lines break before 15Kg.
I tested with Dyneema (1.0mm diameter line).

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

Thank you so much for the information. I can't wait for the postman to show up with mine now!!! "thumbsup"

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

That's awesome news. :twisted:

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

Mailman just dropped it off. Pretty Bad Ass! 66 lbs lift on 3s!

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

I found some more info on it:

Notes from the manufacturer:
Requires Winch controller to operate. SSD recommends using RC4WD or HeyOK winch controllers.
Requires hook. SSD recommends RC4WD winch hooks.
The new SSD winch is based on a high torque servo and can work with up to 11.1v.
The motor plug is the same as the RC4WD winches so it is easy to plug into an RC4WD controller. But can be cut off for use with HeyOK controller.
It lifted over 30Kg (66 lbs) on 11.1v.
Using a normal winch controller you can expect it to lift 15Kg (33 lbs).

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

Just a short bench test. 9lb rig using a almost dead 3s 4400mAh and a HeyOK 4 amp relay controller, It pulls as good as my KMS 220 oz. Fully charged battery will make a big difference.

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

For $150 I expect a winch controller included.

This ala carte bs is starting to annoy me.

Kinda like SSD Yeti wide axle, the shafts that come with it are useless and bend if looked at wrong but, for another $25 you can have the SSD HD shafts.

I'll be posting a comparison of those SSD shafts this week.

Bringing the pain since 1968

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

But from Heyok alone there are about four or five different winch controller choices... Why should SSD jack up the price another $30-$40 just so 80% of their customers throw the crappy stock controller away and buy a better one (assuming the hypothetically included controller is a POS)?

Also, $150 is a great price, considering that it looks way better than a KMS (not bashing, I know that it is a servo winch) and supposedly performs just as good. On top of that, the KMS K2 220, which the SSD is comparable to, doesn't come with a controller and is still $20 more, but nobody complains about that...

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

...seems strong enough... would be cool on my TJ

but will it look properly sized on a 1/6 scale ?
" big enough ? / your opinion please "

~ a little costly for me to make conclusion post purchase ~



looks like an old skool Warn 8274 8)

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

I too would like to see what this looks like on the front of a 1:6 willys

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

:flipoff:...to the haters of what looks like a sweet option. If you don't like this price, good luck finding the QS. The Quicksand winch IS $350 if you can score one.

Thank you to SSD for bringing this to market! I'll be ordering a few. "thumbsup"

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

I have a 1/6 Willys, when my winch gets here I can post pics of it on the bumper. I can also measure the Warn 8074 in my garage and get a true scale.

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

Here it is just sitting on the 1/6 Jeep flatbed.

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

There was no attmept to match a scale on this winch. Just as small as possible with servo internals.

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

Understandable. "thumbsup"

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

winch is way to small for the 1/6 jeep based on 1:1 pictures but no winch really looks to scale on a 1/6th imo.

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

It is my understanding that KMS winches ar all hand fabricated, so yeah I expect them to be more.

I would assume that SSD has some sort of manufacturing be it in house, 3rd party regional or China. That being the case their price point should be the same with a quality winch controller.

Mass build a product as good or better for less and include the required controller, not one that will burn out/up, and you will sell enough units to allow for a lower msrp and still make a profit.

However, SSD, who's products I do use, kind of sullied the experience when I bought their Yeti wide rear axle then come to realize to really get what you originally bought it for you have to buy their HD shafts due to the shafts that come with the axle bend like butter.

Agreeing or disagreeing with my opinion has no bearing on said opinion.

And I am not saying anything bad about their winch. I just don't happen to like the fact they won't offer it at that price point without a decent controller.

I have no problem spending money on this hobby, I have a lot invested in all of my comp rigs. However, the money I spend has to be justifiable.

Re: SSD free spool Ox Power Winch!
 

There didn't seem much point in including an controller and hook and then increasing the price. Most of the buyers of this product product will likely already own winches and have a good quality controller and problably many hooks.

Anyway, your assumption about price/profit is wrong.
