TRX-4 Servo Winch Mount

thingiverse

Since I didn't find any winch mounts out there that seemed to fit my bill I made my own. It might be better to have the winch on its side and have the spool internally, but I like this a bit better so I will see how it holds up since I need the winchline to go under my bumper. I will also be able to fit my tiny FlySky receiver between the steering servo and this servo winch, so for me this seems perfect so far. I made it so the winch sits too low for some people, but with my hard body G500 this will fit nicely under the bumper. If you need it higher, I believe you can just mount the servo the other way with the spool on top and it should match up to the stock bumpers pretty good. You will need some longer screws to mount the second hole of the front bumper since it passes through both the stock bumper mount, the rails and the servo mount. I just reused some screws from other places of the chassis previously holding plastic pieces that I no longer use. The spool is made up of a 3D printed core sandwiched between two aluminium servo horns from aliexpress.
