Thanks DISTURBIN' tha PEACE... I'll put you down for one.

As for line attachment on the first run winches... you're right, that was a bit sub-standard I'll admit. At the time, I wasn't quite sure what to do. I did finally decide on something a little better, which I hope works out for people. The new drums have a grove on one end that you run the line through, and then anchor with a set screw that threads in the end of the drum.

This isn't the best pic, but it kind of shows what I'm talking about...

Thanks. I really don't remember it being a problem, but could see it becoming one.

The new drum support works perfectly and holds the fairlead nice and tight. The set screw on the drum is a great addition to an already perfect winch. I have 30 feet of line on my winch and probably won't ever have to test out the set screw, but it's nice to know its there (just make sure you put the tiny Allen wrench you get with the spool in a safe place). I already lost mine and spent the better part of a morning trying to locate one at a tool store. Nice job on the improvements Neal, every comp I go to people are oohing and aahing about this winch.

Thanks very much War Pig.... and your right, those little allens can be a bear to find locally. It was that same searching that lead me to providing one.... or should I be sending two...:mrgreen:

I'm working on 'em... but running about 3 weeks behind where I wanted to be.

That being said... I posted this in the other thread...
I will put a few people, on a really really need one alternate list. So that if a couple people back out and don't give their spot to someone, I can send you theirs.
I would imagine this may only happen a couple times, so if you or somebody else already on the list would like the opportunity to "move up" please only ask if you are ready for a winch, and in need of one soon for a major event or something. I really don't want to get swamped with requests.

And to anyone concerned... this will not change your place in line.

Neil,
Any update on me???

Neil,

You're about 40 winches out... by the time I get done putting together the winches with the 25 servos that are at the hobby shop waiting for me right now, you'll only be about 5 winches out.

Good chance I'll get to you next month.

Perfect...Thanks

I'm still on wait, and if could be ready to pay when anyone has backed out. I think I'm in this production list but waiting for your winch to finish off my chassis. Thanks for the updates too!

 

[neillarson]

I also can be ready on a moments notice, money is sitting in the bank waiting on your call.

You guys are getting pretty close... you're both in this next batch of 25 servos waiting for me at the hobby shop. I have a couple of the smaller components to machine also, but they should go pretty quick. I think you're both looking at this next month.

I also can be ready on a moments notice, money is sitting in the bank waiting on your call.

You're about 15 winches behind those guys.

I'll keep doing what I can... and try to keep you guys posted.
