Hi stampedekiller try this link it shows you the basic design,if you want a cheap winch go the toy store and buy one of those walking toys take it apart and the motor and gears that make it walk an be used as a winch.
hope that helps.

When your crawler gets stuck, walk over to it and pick it up. Set it back down on level ground and resume play. See? No need for a winch

LOL Yea he has a point tho, i mean u gotta walk over and hook the thing around somethin anyways... but a winch would still be cool...

Hook it up by hand? Thats what the harpoon gun is for!

hey just wondering how to make a winch out of a steering servo and how to take the movement limits off

Access

Here is another way, you need to change out the connector but everything else is compatible.
