Umm not sure who the top players are- but i know Jason Farr very well, Simon Buck reasonably well, Nick Watts (rogue vogue) well, as well as Bob Treebloke and his lot.sae70 said:I was speaking with a chap rescently who said the top players can take up to 20 spare motors for one of those winches to a weekends event
Mmmm........I guess that's what you get for being the third or fourth person down the line when hearing a story for the first time It came from m8 who rescently purchased an hydraulic winch for his LR90 this is what the chap selling him the winch told him Actually now I think about it I guess he would as his argument would be that you wouldn't need all of those motors with a hydraulic winchpugwash said:Umm not sure who the top players are- but i know Jason Farr very well, Simon Buck reasonably well, Nick Watts (rogue vogue) well, as well as Bob Treebloke and his lot.sae70 said:I was speaking with a chap rescently who said the top players can take up to 20 spare motors for one of those winches to a weekends event
most of them run twin 24v 8274 with uprated mainshafts and drums as well as occasional gear changes as well.
Probably see 1-2 motors at each round of the howling wolf get used up- at worst i've seen 6 i think- but that's for ALL the competitors. Know that Dave Bowyer will carry 5-10 bowmotors to most events he attends. Considering the abuse they go through its amazing the motors handle things so well, and when you go for twin 24v motors there's very little chance of burnig a motor out! You're more likely to blow a battery up as it fast discharges, or melt your wiring if its not in the best condition.
It's because we are British & barmey I love it & why wouldn't yousilvercruiser said:im sorry i really cant see thew point in winching that far around a course. Surely you would look at that slop and say what is the point

I like challenges but with a bit of skill invloved and some technical parts or am i missing the point here.

Yeah I agree I failed to see the fun in that.....

It just so happens that Jez has spent last weekend under the bonnet of my green car I have had a load of hydraulic hoses made up today. Final fitting this coming weekend. If my new system works as well as he says it will (and I have no reason at all to think it won't) I will have an amazing winch.
