Default XRC8 Winch

Found this in another thread here on the forum, and since I've heard some Huntsville area folks mention this winch recently, thought I'd pass on his observations.

I am seriously considering selling the next one to a buddy and getting something different.

The problem I am having with them is minor but annoying. The lever on the winch that allows it to free spool out keeps getting jammed so I have to power the winch out and back in.

I am proof that you get what you pay for.
