FAQs

Does this work with non-Absima winches?

This unit is designed specifically for Absima winches and may not function correctly with third-party motor systems.

Can I use this with a 2-channel radio?

No, this unit strictly requires a 3rd channel on your transmitter to send the control signals.

Is the cable length adjustable?

The cable is approximately 30 cm long and is fixed; you should route it carefully to avoid interference with moving parts.

Does the unit need external power?

The unit is powered through the receiver's connection, meaning no separate power source is required.

What happens if I hold the button down for too long?

It is recommended to release the button once the winch is fully retracted to prevent motor strain or 'stalling' the winch mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Winch does not respond to transmitter input

Ensure the 3rd channel is assigned to a button and that the lead is firmly connected to the correct receiver port.

Winch continues to run after releasing the button

Verify that your radio's 3rd channel is set to 'momentary' mode and check for any trim settings on the transmitter that may be causing a constant signal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple plug-and-play installation between receiver and winch
  • Provides authentic winch control for realistic trail driving
  • Compatible with all Absima branded winch systems
  • Compact form factor fits easily in tight electronics boxes

Cons

  • Requires a radio system with an available switchable 3rd channel button
  • Not compatible with two-channel radio systems
  • Limited to Absima winch motors

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the controller, connect the input lead into your receiver's 3rd channel port and the output lead directly into the winch motor. Ensure your radio's 3rd channel is set to 'momentary' or 'button' mode rather than 'toggle' for the best experience. The unit is weather-resistant but should be kept away from excessive moisture or direct submersion to prevent short-circuiting the internal components. Regularly inspect the 30 cm wire leads for signs of fraying or pinched insulation caused by tight chassis clearances.
