Good, Cheap Tow Hook

[Calicrawler23]

I'm looking for a tow hook to replace the stock 3racing hook which appears to have durability issues from what i've read. The RC4WD hooks are nice, but a little steep on the price if you ask me. Where seems to be the best place to buy a cheap, strong hook?

Great question, I have been wondering the same thing. It's a shame that the 3Racing winch is so great, and they have that crappy hook on there, and the RC4WD hook looks great, but it is actually a little to big if your going for perfect scale, and the price of it is just rediculous.

So I would like to see some different options also

Same here...

the "hook" that comes on the 3Racing winch is nothing more then a Lobster clasp for jewelery....it managed 1 pull of my 6lb rig before breaking where the thread goes through...they're not meant for a winch.

Here's my current hook...Lol. I stole it off a keychain...so out of scale...but it's the only thing I had around the house to replace the hook that came on it...I want something more "practical" and scale...and I agree the RC4WD ones are too much.

I just had a thought of bending some thin rod...may need a vice and needle nose pliers but it might work...and file it to shape?

I've also seen some people use the leaders for a fishing line....(they'll hold like a 10lb fish..so they should be able to pull a 6lb scale truck)

My truck with my hook...Lol

I'm hoping someone has a link to a scale boat website or salt water fishing site that may have what we're looking for.

[Calicrawler23]

Nice looking hooks, but you have to buy 8 of them for $13.

I have one of these and it is sized perfectly. It costs about $15US shipped.

Yeah that looks good.

How hard is it to order from that place? I've never ordered anything from out of the country. If someone wants to buy a few of these I will get in on it.

I've ordered from Stefan at Scale Off Road a couple times now and plan on placing another order soon. Delivery to Tennessee took about a week and a half. Great guy to deal with and product is top notch. I too have one of those winch hooks on my rig. and a bunch of his lights, tiedown straps and some other goodies.

I just ordered 2 of these! You cannot beat the quality for the price. Compared to the kong hooks bulk and price these are worth the wait!
