So I have a rc4wd bulldog winch and the winch controller for it had burnt out while I was hooking up a switch don't know why or how but it did. So instead of being somewhat normal and buying one I decided to build one from a old traxxas 2056 servo with stripped gears I'm sure it'd work with other servos just haven't tried it yet. So first take the servo apart then unsolder the motor from the board. Now take the positive and negative from your burned out winch control and solder them to the pos and neg spot where the motor went. There's a dial like thing on there it's called the potentiometer it's to set the winch so it
It kills the power in the neutral position. Make small adjustments to it while winch is in neutral its pretty difficult to find that sweet spot but when you do the winch should seem as if it were off. Once I found that spot I super glued my potentiometer in place. Then plasti dipped it and works great. It actually works better then the one I got from rc4wd because I could not get the original controller to shut down in neutral which is why I tried putting a switch on it.
