Goolsky Winch Controller

Picked up one of these little gems from Amazon


This one is listed as the Goolsky Winch Controller but you'll find it under many names.
It's actually a small Electronic Speed Controller.

There were some modifications I had to make to get it to work with my Winch .

First because this is an ESC and it provides a BEC I needed to cut or remove the center RED wire from the receiver plug. Then I needed to swap the two red plugs around. In my case, the wire from the winch had a male plug and the cable I needed to connect it to also had a male. Also the wire from the controller going to the battery was a female (so you can plug it into a small 2s) but I needed it to be a male so I could plug it into the Y splitter coming off the 3rd channel. One side of the Y would take the Servo plug, the other one would supply the power to the winch.

Chassis Servo Mount w/Panhard Bar

I installed a Chassis Mounted Servo and Panhard Rod kit.

No instructions but that's ok. It's not to terribly hard to figure out.
I had to disassemble mine and change some things around to get it to work on my SCX10 Deadbolt.
But they give you all sorts of spacers and bolts to set it up the way you need it.
Installing it is sort of strange. It just slides in between the frame rails (you need to remove the bumper/cross members).
I used a couple of zip ties to lock it into place.

It looks great and works very well. Just pay attention and put your steering rod on the same side as where the panhard rod connects to the axle.
