I love your specific instructions, very clearly on what you need to install the winch.
+Robert S Tiest thanks for your comment and for watching!
Thanks for displaying part#'s witch is a huge help!!
You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
Great tutorial, thanks! My first wireless set would not bind, but RC4WD sent me another free of charge and now my crawler is a winching machine 🔥
Great to see that they sent you a new one and that is working, and thanks for watching!
Thanks for the help
This is the first useful tutorial I have found for the wireless version
Devin Rochelle truly appreciate your kind words and very happy that helped!
Five years late and rc4wd still can’t get it right!!! It’s ok tho, I’ll just pull apart the components and reinstall them CORRECTLY. It’s not like I paid good money or anything.
Great job and nice Winch!
Tom Bikonkav thanks bro!
beautiful video! love it! now! I can build my recovery semi.thanks.
+Jeremy Pete thank you for the kind words and very happy it helped!
Any pictures
Great post. I added the Warn winch to my TRX, but used the aux power source to power both my lights and the winch. I used existing plugs, but transferred wires to the plugs I needed to avoid numerous connections and ridiculously long wires. All worth noting I just used two of the supplied screws to attach the winch base to the stock bumper. With two it is very snug.
Awesome, yes having wires everywhere doesn’t look too real!
@@MehdiMirian so I would be able to get a cable with servo connectors on each end and use that from the aux power source on the trx4 to the receiver for the winch?
@@tieintercepterpiolit yes you should. Thanks for watching!
thank you, you have help me for this instalation ! sorry for my bad english... and your clearly in your instructions !

Great tutorial! (-:
Jax Teller RC thanks bro!
@RC Playground comments like yours are what keep this channel going, thank you for the kind words!
You'Re Welcome!
rc mirian if I want to use 2 winches to I buy 2 and 1 controller or 2 and 2 controllers
Country Gamer I'm assuming you want to use each one independently, and as you can see the remote comes with 1 receiver, so you need 2 remotes with 2 receivers, but if you want both winches to work at the same time, just get 1 remote and receiver and you'll just need to make a Y cable from the receiver to both winches. Let me know if i made myself clear ;)
ok thanks cuz im making a scaler and I want a winch in the front and in the rear and im also making an 8x8 driven trailer and I want the winches to work together on that
Country Gamer nice, so you'll need for the scaler 2 sets of receivers and remotes but only one for the 8x8, post pics of the process, that's a great build ;)
works for me thank you
+karl schweizer thanks for watching!
You can also use a tx/rx lipo battery to power it as I pick up a genace 2s 7.4 2200mAh with jst and servo leads.
Correct, thanks for watching!
Best tutorial ever, great job and thanks heaps
Thank you for the kind words and glad it helped!
Excellent video.! I liked.!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Thanks oldie this video. Any advice for the battery? Which one could be the best? Thanks!!!!
As long as it’s a small lipo you should be fine. Thanks for watching!
RC4WD,I've been missing out,thx
+WIZARDWERX they have great products ;)
Hi there very helpful pal thanks! P. S. Do you have to have a separate battery to operate the winch? Sorry I'm a beginner!
+somavilla33 glad you found it helpful and yes because your RC most probably will use a bigger and more powerful battery that would melt the winchs motor.
Mehdi Mirian many thanks
Nice job! Just one question: how and where are you mounting the battery and receiver inside the Slickrock?
Nick C. Receiver is underneath the hood, winch on the servo and battery goes on copilot side.
rc mirian nice setup! It looks very realistic.
thanks Nick C. that's been the whole idea do good to hear it from someone else than me :)
rc mirian will you be putting this winch on your Trail Stomper at some point?
Nick C. Ohhhhhhh yes ;)
Could you please explain again how exactly to bind it. I'm running the same set up as you are I just can't get it to bind. I appreciate your help thanks a lot and awesome video
+jose reyes if you’ve tried binding it like the manual says, I would contact the seller since it should bind in a couple of second and there could be a problem with yours but here’s a link for how the binding goes. www.beadlok.com/product/images/626/Z-S1092-Warn%20Winch%20Instruction%20manual%20Wireless%20color-V7.pdf
Great vid but I want to control my winch with the 4th channel on my remote, how is this done? plugging the winch receiver into the 4th channel docent work and plugging the winch directly into the 4th channel docent work either. I don't know what else to do.
According to rc4wd, you need to connect the winch to a “control unit”, and then connect the control unit to your receiver so it works on your remote. This is the “control unit” link. Hope this works!
store.rc4wd.com/RC4WD-Wired-Winch-Control-Unit_p_3725.html
Could you show in more detail how you mounted the winch to your slickrock?
You didn't just mounted it with velcro right? ;)
creamneuron correct, its mounted with velcro and using the screw holes of the winch mounting plate i soldered a wire from one to the other to secure it to the cage, will try and do a video!
Would you need a lvc or lvd unit running lipo with this setup? I usually run nimhs or 9v for accessories so I wouldnt know.
This winch works with 6 to 11 volts batteries, I just used this lipo to extende play time but you can use nimh too just make sure it's within the voltage I mentioned ;)
rc mirian oh okay. So pretty much when the winches performance drops its sorta like a lvc? That I would assume this particular winch setup will not operate under a certain voltage? Still if using a 2s lipo and the winch setup being min of 6volts unless using a very high quality lipo pack running them down to 3v per cell is cutting it quite close. I do understand its a winch and wont be used nearly as much as say lights or whatever but if you happen to neglect checking the winch lipo voltage over a period of time could have catastrophic effects lol. And of course if your using lipo to power the rc you can always just hook it up to run off that and use its lvc if not running a separate power source for winch. Great vid too!
Rosco P thanks bro and yes I'm powering with the videos battery the winch and only that, i've tested it and with one charge can hold up to 15 to 20 recoveries so for one run its more than enough lol
I bought this for a fishing trawler I picked up on the cheap. the remotes were all fried. I can now drop my nets and raise them again. I will mount the remote on my transmitter with velcro so it doesnt get lost.
+scott firman great and thanks for watching!
Thank you😊😊
Thank you for watching!
Quick question five years after posting this video: does the winch automatically stop when the wire is all in or out? Will the motor keep trying to go if I'll continue to press the buttons?
Also, about how much weight would this be able to pull?
All the best!
It doesn’t automatically stop, so yes if you keep pressing the button it’ll try to either roll it in or out. According to their website it says it can take about 6.6 pounds but I’ve pulled close to 10. Thanks for watching after 5 years! :)
I appreciate you for this. I'll winch one for you and you'll know that you helped me.
+DIRTYYETTI very glad it helped and keep on winching ;)
This for sharing 😊
My pleasure 😊 and thanks for watching!
Hi , when you bind it does the box blink once when when you click and blinks another time when you let go of the control ?
Don’t remember exactly but if after binding doesn’t work, try and bind it again. No matter how many flashes the light does, it should work. Here’s also another video from rc4wd in case you’d like a look.
th-cam.com/video/PIlKC6olQ1g/w-d-xo.html
Hope if helps and Thanks for watching!
Mehdi Mirian alright thank you
Can’t you shorten any of those wires? Also can you instead of battery adapter connecter, cut off the large battery end and just splice on the small end?? Thank you
Yes you can do both, I just wanted to keep all it’s original wires intact. Thanks for watching!
sir, was that battery 7.4 volts or not? i have a 7.4 v battery with the same end so i would need the adapter but could i use it (1000mAh)
+MR.CREATE yes you can!
ok thanks a lot :)
I am in need a minature winch like this that can pull in around 1ft of cable in around 2 seconds. Anything on the market like that? Must be able to pull anywhere from 15-25lbs
This winch runs slow, I truly don’t know where to find for a winch that pulls that fast but wish you all the best. Thanks for watching!
@@MehdiMirian If you find something let me know. It's not for a model car, I just need something small-medium sized that I can be powered with a small lipo battery. I don't need a full size real life winch haha
So the winch wil not work if u plug it straight in to the vehicles receiver even if u have a 16 channel transmitter .. u need the the other attachments to run it?
If you have a transmitter with at least 3 channels, then you can use the third channel for the winch to avoid getting the winch controller. But you’ll always need the winch and it’s receiver plus a battery for it since it cannot use the bigger one from the rc. Thanks for watching!
@@MehdiMirian ok thanks for replying
did you buy every thing all together or did you have to buy it all separate
+Rj Arseneau-Sullivan I bought the winch, remote and receiver in one package so they come together, separately got the battery.
nice
KevinMillard68 thanks bro!
rc mirian your welcome
exelente
Muchas gracias!!!
Does the winch controller use line of sight in order to work?
+TheMartynneil no, the remote can be at about 5 ft or a bit more from the receiver and pointed to the sky if you want and still work, at least that's the farthest I've tested it since I'm always near the RC.
Nice
Thanks!
I have mine connected to a side connection to my transmitter and then to the box and the box to the winch my lights all come on when on but I go to use the remote and nothing
Do I have to remind them if I got it used from another person
Also do I have too change batter on the remote if so what battery type
Try changing the remote’s battery first, if the problems persists, try connecting the transmitter to an individual small Lipo and bind it to the remote. That should do the trick.
This is the battery for the remote,
store.rc4wd.com/Replacement-Battery-for-110-Warn-Wireless-Controller_p_3739.html
Hope if helps and Thanks for watching!
Wireless not binding, is the box supposed to flash when binding is complete? Also is it supposed to flash when binding the remote is complete? How long are you supposed to hold for binding?
You’re supposed to hold it for 3 seconds and after flashing it should stop, did that work?
So you do get a flashing light when holding the button?
No, it didn’t work.
You could also solder your own battery cable for it.
That’s another good idea too, i decided to keep it separated but again, a great option too. Thanks for watching!
Do you need to use a separate battery or can yiu use the one that powers the car?
Has to be a separate battery since usually 1/10 rc cars use big lipo batteries. Thanks for watching!
@@MehdiMirian thanks for the reply
@@Beastlysimmer_uk you’re welcome!
Can I pull power from the receiver for this or do I need to run a second battery
If your receiver has an extra space to connect it, yes try it out since it should.
@@MehdiMirian ok, was looking into it for my red at and I figured it should just be able to take power from it
@@habib1971 thanks for watching!
Will I be able to charge that battery using thr traxxas ez peak dual charger. If not can you tell me the part # I will need
You should be able to charge any 2s or 3s LiPo. Perhaps an adapter might be needed to connect the battery to the charger, but try first to simply connect it directly to your charger, if not try one of these links to find the correct one,
www.amazon.com/dp/B016065X72
www.amazon.com/dp/B016075GEG
www.amazon.com/dp/B01607M9C8
Any chance you can give battery info. Amazon sucks trying to find right size with out part number. Dont want a big battery just one to run winch, thanks if you answer lol
Needs to be a 2 or 3 cell lipo, something like this,

Thanks for watching!
@@MehdiMirian thank you
Can this be used on a servo winch the same as the scale winch?
Yes it should, try it out and let me know :)
@@MehdiMirian A servo usually uses a signal wire to change direction, where the scale winches are basically just directly to the motor in the winch?
What kind of charger do you use for the battery

I have the wired controller for mine. I can't get it to stop being on. I have a feeling it's my rcs receiver but I'm not entirely sure. As long it's connected, it's either winching in or out.
+Zach Novosad how strange but from a forum I read I remember someone saying a similar problem, that's why I went for the wireless one.
Mehdi Mirian I actually fixed the problem. I needed to program my 3rd channel to a 4 position switch I believe. It was only set as a two position
+Zach Novosad perfect!
I’m building a twin boom wrecker on wpl can I run 2 of these off 1 remote?
Unfortunately this winch cannot be used using that way since they already come pre binded to their remote. But, you could try getting the winch only so you can use another receiver with more channels so you can connect 2 winches to it and use only one remote. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Mehdi Mirian thanks so much! I
Cool
+Braiden O'Rourke thanks!
Is this Adapter big Tamiya Male to JST Male ?
Yes it is, thanks for watching!
what kinda of stuff did you use in this video?
Everything was listed in the video, thanks for watching!
Can anyone share if using a 7.4v 850mAh battery would be too much for this type of winch? I intend to run same set up as the video (powering the winch directly to the battery). But want to ask just to make sure of my options.
According to the manufacturer, this winch can be used using a Voltage: 6v to 11.1v. So your battery looks good. Thanks for watching!
@@MehdiMirian "Thank you" Mehdi. Your feedback and video is awesome.
Thank you for the kind words!
Do you have to buy it all separately or does it come with all of it
If you buy the combo, includes everything but the battery (lipo) to power the winch.
Thank you
You’re welcome!
Is it waterproof? Because I always go mudding with my Crawler!
It is Not, so before mudding you need to waterproof it on your own, thanks for watching!

Hola buenas noches, yo tengo el receptor pero no tengo el transmisor. Como puedo configurar otro transmisor diferente a ese receptor. Porfavor ayúdame gracias. Saludos
Para poder conectar un transmisor, tienes que tener un radio con 3 canales, tú tercer canal tiene que ser (on/off/on) de lo contrario no funcionara. Si lo tienes, este video te podría ayudar para conectarlo,

bro where are you buy this
Local hobby shops or try integy.com, rc4wd.com. Thanks for watching!
Tutorial ,and Helpful ? Its so easy to connect. B= Battery and W= Winch and you really Buy`s the Battery Connector to the Lipo . Everybody they has this Hobby can make this at Home for Zero,all what you need is a Solderer
Yes it’s easy to bind but there’s always someone that might need a hand to connect it, hence the views on the video but thanks for watching!
Where i can find this winch??
At rc4wd.com
I’m having trouble connecting it to the controller it comes with
Where you able to follow the video instructions? If so and still isn’t connecting, I know it sounds silly but see if the battery is compatible, if it’s fully charged and if after all this it still won’t connect, better contact the store you got it from, perhaps you got a faulty device. Best of luck and thanks for watching!
my winch quit working and the light on the receiver flashes on when i hit the buttons
Could try re-binding it, if that doesn’t work try changing the battery on the winch controller. Hopefully it’s one of these two so it’s an easy fix :). Thanks for watching!
Where did you get the battery?
At integy.com
@@MehdiMirian do you have a link for the battery?
@@MehdiMirian where could I get a charger for that type of battery?

No, you have to make it waterproof by either putting it inside a waterproof box or spraying a couple of coatings to seal the electronics.
