Thats really wicked looking.
Are you planning to have the tbar just do bumper lifts, or add an actuator and a pair of L arms to make it a self loading wheel-lift? |

I wish my cat would go fishing with me like that.
This is going to be a very nice and big tuck!

A question for electronics savvy: Did a test drive today with all the functions connected, Firgellis are working fine, however, when connecting winch motor with its own speed control and its own battery,to the RX, the truck goes full throttle....

It almost sounds like you have both speed controllers on the same channel. Without knowing what radio and how you have your channels set up its hard to tell.

Could it be electrical interference ? Jack have you tried moving the wires around that power the winch while it's working to see if it effects anything.
