Mounting servo winch?

[Deerhurst]

How are you guys mounting your servo winches? Just built one up and while waiting for my hardware to program the GT3b i wanted to mount it up but cant visualize a way to do it yet.

Photos would be awesome!

I brazed a steel bracket onto a Tough Armor rock slider. There was just enough room for both front and rear winches. I was going to use some brake line for a winch cable guide but it seems to work fine just routed outside the shock hoop.

CC01 tub with internal frame and delrin skid.

Quick and dirty -
Vertical delrin mounting points close to transfer case.
Tube comes from front bumper under steering servo, motor and trans back to block in front of winch pulley.

Pricey, but I have wanted to try one of these blocks and mounts.
It acts like a bearing block, so the side load isn't on the servos bearings.

Any pics from the from the front? How does it pull? Does it pull a little crooked? Hows the weight balance?

I like your idea, very simple. Im gonna have to put a lot more wire on the winch.

You can mount the front on the side of the frame across from your steering servo, works great their."thumbsup"
