Transform Your RC with a Winch: Installing the RC4WD Remote Winch
In this video, I FINALLY add a winch to my Traxxas TRX-4 Defender! As my first ever crawler, it's long overdue! I still use the stock transmitter and there are no available channels to program, so this setup is perfect because it is all external and requires no transmitter programming. RC4WD's latest wireless remote is so cool - modeled after a real winch controller!

Hey just a heads up, someone recently tried to get me to text a number to "you". I'm very sure it's a scam. I don't know to DM messages but this is best I could think of. Also I know you don't send people your phone number like that.

*RC car shelves are very nice! Good job!!!!~~~ Good job installing a winch on all RCs!~~~^^*
Nice winch there ✌🤠 Happy to see next upgrade on trx-4 Defender
Always good to see a new video from you RC girl. I plan on buy this winch unit. Thanks lady 🤘
I super glued mine to the plastic bumper. Then got a metal one it mounted to. I like the traxxas winch that I have on my tf2. The freespool function is really nice for getting cable out quick without unwinding slowly
winch looks fun!!
So I put the same winch on my gen7 pro,but i wanted to use my transmitter to operate it instead of the key fob.i used an old brushed esc to power the winch,and I just use the signal wire on the reciever,put it on an extra channel, and it works great! Literally will lift the entire truck off the ground.also added a snatch block on it.just have to make sure you use metal bumpers and bumper mounts.
Glad you’re back uploading regularly! I always love the look of your builds, not too over the top to the point where it’s impossible to replicate but also suuuuuper scale
great video, love the new winch setup
Very cool!
On my redcat gen8 I run mine off the power grid on the receiver. It runs perfectly fine off 6v and will pick that heavy truck up. I also used a piece of double stick servo tape to mount the controller to the transmitter

Awesome, yeah that's another good way to power it!
You can always make a wider plate by using metal flashing and super easy to do. Always looking forward to your videos. Thanks
A great Add on ! I have used double sided sticky tape on all my winches works Great too I added a snatch block Doubles you’re pulling power
I just got an email from RC4WD recommending this and was wondering if there were any reviews. Nice review!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I really like that new winch controller. I'm completely surprised the double sided tape holds that well. Good video

Hey RC Girl! I liked the winch update on the truck! I have the winches already but I loved the Land Grab claw I ordered up a couple of them with the Hook on top! Awesome content and videos as always!😉👍📹✔️💯👋👋👋👋
Good video, the winch definitely upscales the authenticity, good sound effects on the crawler.
Amazing 🤩 nice work, great job 👏👍💪
COOL!!!
I have the older version of the same winch on my Redcat Gen8 Axe. Works great, but the mounting bracket needs a redesign to work with the screws provided on most trucks I've seen. RC4WD could offer different plates for different trucks, to make the mounting easier. Great video as always, thanks !
You have the most detailed Rc's in RC really impressive.
Im fairly new to the hobby, lets say I have RC cars for about 1.5 year now. I usually drive my 7th scale Arrma desert truck to have great fun extremely bashing and ripping with it, and I have a 10th scale tamiya xv-01 with rally body that I use on the streets and be a bit more careful with :) I have to say this video inspired me to maybe try and get into crawlers aswell some day. The winch and all the scale decorative parts are so cool. and that suspension wow I love how people designed this to cross almost every terrain :)
That's cool.
Very cool, you have some awesome rigs!!!
I finally got a TRX4 Sport last Christmas. I’ve only ran it a few times as I went down a RC rabbit hole involving a few Axial Yeti XL, or 2. Or 3. That’s a nice looking scale winch, I’ve looked at them for a few years now. Looks real easy.
I was honestly surprised to find a woman with such an interest in this.. your a legend lady :)
I'm new to the Rc world. This video was awesome 👍🏽👍🏽
On my 2021 bronco TRX4 it came with the Traxxas pro scale winch when I bought it from their own store, I just ziptied the included controller to the top of my radio lol. It’s hard to steer and drive and winch but really just need to press throttle and winch at the same time anyway. It works great but doesn’t look all that great in terms of scale. That warn scale winch looks amazing!
Good to see ya young lady. Good job as always. 👍
I really like that new winch controller.
very helpful video thanks keep them coming
Hello from France 🇲🇫 I love the scale rc4wd winch transmitter! Best to use on one hand Rx and one hand winch You could use it from radio with traxxas tqi pro scale light system but I prefer 100x separate controller. Have fun and thank you for your nice vids
Hey thanks for sharing this video. I am new to the rc world, well new to the Crawler. I have the jato 3.3 nitro for about 1.5 years and another nitro rc that I had for almost 20 years. I ditched the traxxas electronics in my trx4 and went with radiolink rc8x radio and castle creations brushless sencored motor and mamba x esc.
Very nice CNC land anchor, had to order one! 👍 I personally use a servo winch with a waterproof 22kg servo and a 80lbs braided fishing line. Sometimes I am afraid to break the car in half. 😉
Nice video👌
Nice winch, it completes the Defender! The double sided tape is strong, but for additional strength, can you use the original fairlead on the winch? If you file of the plastic fairlead on the bumper, not the upright bracket it is sitting on (!), will the bracket be wide enough so the two holes for the screws on the winch can be drilled though it? Then the winch will be bolted to the bracket too. If needed you can use washers as spacers. And it will look good with the chrome fairlead on the front! Cheers.
Plain and pretty! 😘
Nice. Very Nice and Thank you so much.
Nice video
That is a nice land anchor.
Hello from southeast alaska sweet looking winch
Awesome RC Girl 👧 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😃😎 and enjoying watching too AWESOME I like RC truck too that's awesome 👌

Molt bona explicació. Gràcies
Thanks you

Complimeto nice video always very comprehensive, I am writing to you from Palermo, Sicily. I've been following you for a long time, you always make great videos. I love your very nice Traxxax TRX Defender. I know that the Traxxax TRX 4-m 1/18 scale comes out in November, will you give 🤣🤣it to me so I can advertise here with us? I await your other videos Best regards
Hi Hayley 👋🏻 What lighting kit are you using on your Defender? I have the Traxxas kit but my headlights have loads of leds in which are now starting to fail. I much prefer yours. (And it goes without saying, another great video btw 👏🏻)

Going back to the archives for this one! It's a @mytrickrc Defender light kit kzread.info/dash/bejne/qmah1tNwfNq8l5M.html Highly recommended!
Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🙂
Wow boob - classic 😆 . Sweet setup although I think I would've found a way to mount the winch with screws vs double-sided tape. I would think after getting wet a few times, the reliability of the tape would be in question. And it looked like the fairlead "frame" on the truck was screwed on so maybe you could remove it and put the fairlead from the winch itself in its place? Just a couple of thoughts...
Big like❤
Very cool. Which sound did you chose on your ESS One ?

Nice . .
I am planning on going to PLBTF too for the first time. How many rigs are you bringing?
In your opinion is this winch better than the original one
I love RC Girls!!!!!
A bit off topic question 3 years ago you flew the Carbon Cub S+ on your DX8 radio can you please tell me how you programed that radio, for the Cub to work
I can’t find a winch for my atlas 6x6? Hopefully you k own one that actually fits and works for it! Thank you in advance
I’ll be there
That bumper might for traxxas winches
How did the double-sided tape hold up after a year?

Still on! To be fair, I don't winch a ton but it's on there pretty good. Probably not the best solution if you plan to use it a lot
Which sound you downloaded to your sound module?
How does it compare to the Traxxas one?
Hey where u get that winch hook
I use to use RC4WD winches till traxxas release their winches and you can run two
Very cool video. Done subscribes long time ago….
Size for 1/18 -1/24? Can’t find any that are FMS compatible

I was wondering that myself. Not aware of any micro crawler winch options
Soon as i plug power into my winch controller it starts spooling by itself any ideas?
Yup got a couple of winches. 1st one, I put on my redcat gen 7 pro. It was cheap. The switch I put on top by the spare. The good one I put on my trx 4 tactical. The other one I'm debating where to put it. Decision Decision. Oh well. Bye Double click on the like button.
