RGT EX861 DIY winch

thingiverse

I wanted to make my own winch for my RGT EX861000 so I designed and printed it. You just need to buy a N20 motor with gears. I got a 12V 200rpm for less than 3€ and print these 3 files. The winch will fit the bumper bars so no need for screws. You just need an ESC to control the motor from your remote or a switch if you don't want to control it from your remote. Or you can buy a wireless receiver... You must solder the wires to the motor and have the wires on the bottom of the motor when you put it in place. The drum has the "D-shape" of the motor shaft and hole to put the rope. The "reduction gears" will fit last just to make it looks like a real winch. You can also put a 3mm steel wire in this and in the drum if you need to pull heavier things. The cable guide in the front can also be srewed to the "reduction gears" of the winch. NOTE: I found that N20 12V 200rpm is too weak for a 2.5kg crawler... I think the best solution will be a conversions for a dual motor winch. I already added the second motor cover. I also added a new version of the Drum (v4) ready to receive the shaft from the second motor. It should be all that you need for the dual motor winch.
