This is a great integrated system with the RC4WD "Warn" 9.5cti 1/10 Scale Winch. I opened the box, carefully plugged the winch into the controller unit and the wire from the controller back to the receiver. I set it up to the AUX2 port on my Spektrum DX5 Rugged transmitter (lights are in Aux 1). I found the Aux Assign menu on my transmitter and set it up as: Input (switch D), Mode (3-pos), Cyclic (Inhibit), Momentary (active). The winch was now conveniently controlled on my transmitter. Now I can have a little more fun when I go RC crawling.
If you are using the RC4WD winch than this is the only thing that works to control it. Thankfully it is light, the harness are pretty long for ease of mounting and after several years my original is still working fine. I had to buy a second for a new build.
Great product as always works flawlessly would highly recommend buying
All three reviewers are verified owners who rate the RC4WD Wired Winch Controller Unit 5/5. They describe it as the working control solution for the RC4WD 9.5cti winch, with one reviewer noting it is the only option they found for that winch. Reviewers report reliable long-term operation, with one owner still using an original unit after several years and another buying a second for a new build. One reviewer described setup on a Spektrum DX5 Rugged transmitter, assigning the winch to a three-position switch with momentary action on the AUX2 port. No problems or disagreements are reported. The reviews are brief, so the sample is small.
