Do the winches use a different power supply?

You can do either or.

This controller lets you control your winch with channel 3

No have 2 tail lights and 2 headlights. Thatd take maybe an amp if that i figure who knows aha. Later id add underglow rock lights. But i have a spektrum micro servo for dig. I need 1 more for 2 speed both of those are only on when i stop and flick them so no steering servo woukd be used. And its less than a second to activate then off. Only lights and steering and when i need the winch. But i can turn off the lights if needed. Not sure winch draw is.

My steering servo is bigger than the micro thats all i know without tesring it out


Nope was told the receiver can handle them i hope

You would likely be fine with a 10A BEC to be honest. But I would go bigger just to be sure. If you can find the current rating for your servos and winch, you can figure what the max current is of course. Like your winch and steering servo will be your biggest draws. As long as you have a few extra amps beyond what they'll be pulling, you should be fine.

Lots of variables come into play. Like if you're pulling your truck up a steep vertical incline, its going to pull more current than if you're just pulling it over a bump in the road.

But you get it. You'll figure it out. If nothing else, overkill works

Read a bit more that ic3 and xt60 work as ec3 works with xt60 so people had pictures with ic3 in xt60. May work may break center balance pin will see.

A male EC3 will plug in to a female XT60 but The housings do not match and I would not recommend someone do that. Also, A female EC3 will not fit together with a male XT60.

Now last is deciding if i go with a 1200kv or 1800kv

I do mostly crawling but i like to floor it around sometimes and walk with it while i drive it beside me down the road. If i do 1800kv i shouldnt have to gesr anything right? Currently have a 35t dynamite dyns1216 which i believe should be very close to the 1800kv. I mean 1200 would be nice specifically for crawling but a little speed would be nice. Opinions?

I feel like 1800kv will be plenty low end with brushless. Would i need to change gearing with 1800kv its a scx 10 3 jl wrangler so whatever the stock portal, motor gearing, transmission and diffs are. Would they need to be changed with 1800kv?

Besides that i found a 10amp ubec, flysky 7 channel receiver and remote. 2 speed injora 7kg servo with the brackets.

Steering servo uses 6v and my dig servo uses 4.8-6v

Il use the ubec to either power my steering and then winch /2 servo that only get used momentarily and lights together on esc or i may do all 3 servos together and lights/winch on esc
