Plow issues.

[Cheetah928]

Hey RCT! I'm back! Been awhile! So Sunday we might be getting some snow and I want to try my plow with a winch. Only issue is that it will not stay raised if I let go of it, anyone got suggestions?

Snatch block setup maybe. Might take a couple .

Thats a good idea. Ill need some first though. Any way I can adjust the shocks or something to make it easier to pull?

Is it on a 2 way or 3 way setup? On mine, which both raises and lowers, and also angles, I had to set the raise/lower function on a channel that basically was an on-off switch, and, the angle is set on an on-off-on style setup. How I did the raise/lower, I set it on CH4, and, set the servo so that when the switch was "on", the plow was raised, and, when it was "off", the plow was lowered.

Pull the springs off and can you angle the blade a bit forward so it would try to pull down (assuming concrete or other smooth surface you intend to clear) instead of push up.

But more importantly, don’t take snow clearing advice from anyone in Louisiana

Yeah that's for sure interesting, I see the idea, so I'll look into it.

2 way setup . Also it operates entirely separate from the trx-4. It draws power directly from a wire in the esc that connects directly to the battery.

Oh, ok. I thought it was like mine, which just runs off different channels in the ESC. Mine just uses 2 cheap standard servo's though, so it doesn't need separate power.

Is that like a cok blok?

Just add a couple springs to it. Derrr
