That >8,000 lb. winch is a waste of money.

@TomHGZ

Maybe the real lesson to be learned is, just because you use a tiny tool, doesn't mean it's the best way to get the job done......

 

Well, at least we know the OP is still alive...

Still waiting on the video, however at this point I'm beginning to have my doubts as to how efficient this MA system is if it's taking 7 months for said video...

 

I thought the point was it was a much more affordable option?


I can't believe OP didn't just go with one of these: You wanna talk weight and cost savings, THIS is perfect!

It does look like fun but I sink enough money into my life-size truck as it is, I don't need a mini version of that expensive hobby as well

 

A while back I made my own tube chassis using steel brake line.

I'm a baller though: no winch. no spare. no springs even, lol

 

Who needs a winch on an RC car when you have the ultimate recovery tool - a omnipotent god-like monster that can reach down and pull you out of any situation you get hung up on

I wish I had that when out in my truck

 

I AM A GOD.

Not THE god, but A god.

 

I heard OP was finally going to post his video this weekend but he had to go over to Suez and show them how to get that ship unstuck with an atv winch and 8km of climbing rope

 

A Handful of Times A Year? I'd say if you NEED a winch once a year that justifies the cost.

 

Think about all of the Matt’s recovery videos. I’d bet the cost of one extraction would cover the winch and all the goodies.
If you need a winch once it’s paid for itself.

 

It's the internet - stubborn people
that can't admit to bring wrong in real life are 100x worse online.

 

With 300,000 snatch blocks

 

Yes. I may be one of them sometimes.

 

LetS jUSt AgrEE to DIsAgRee

 

I disagree. I only disagree. lol

 

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Let's bicker until someone changes their mind!!

Which has happened 0 times ever, so we just argue until someone has to go to bed. Or work.

 

I am just waiting for the video.

Sorry that the Op is having Production difficulties .

Was it a Rumor the Wench is going to be 100% Solar Powered

 

yeah, low CG and nose heavy climbs better. I've since upgraded to velcro straps, and even use a lipo battery now.

 

Please tell me "wench" was on purpose...
