Has anyone successfully configured the Vanquish RTR transmitter (VT-1) to control a winch?
Even when looking at the transmitter manual I am not sure where to make changes and what values to select along the way.
I've got a Stance that's using the original transmitter/receiver. It's time to add a winch.
However, I am struggling to successfully extend the line when using CH 4. It will retract when switched it moved to the left from the neutral position. But when the switch is moved to the right from the neutral position, nothing happens.
I think endpoints and trim are where I should begin, but I'm not sure how they need to be adjusted for use with a winch.

I am here for feedback and maybe some friendly guidance. Thanks in advance.

In the pic you can see the 300 IS Comp Spec winch all ready to go. Further below is a screen shot of the vanquish manual that in theory should help me configure CH 4.

Well. I went back at it again after posting & ended up adjusting the CH 4 EPA to 60. Now the winch will retract and extend.
Victory!
