Route the power wire and antenna wire from the winch along the right
chassis rail to the front shock tower (Fig. 3). Continue to route the antenna
wire along the right chassis rail and secure it to the loop on the servo mount
with one of the included zip ties.
Route the power wire through the shock tower and over to the XL-5 HV
electronic speed control (on the XL-5 HV, the red connector is direct output
voltage from the battery; the maximum voltage that the winch can accept is
4s LiPo). Note: Be sure to allow adequate body clearance so that it doesn’t
rub against or cut the wires.
Secure any excess length of the wires with the existing left and right front
wire clips and the remaining zip ties to prevent contact with any moving
parts or assemblies.
Plug the red male connector from the speed control into the red female
connector from the winch.
If you have another accessory installed, such as an external BEC or
LED lighting,
plug the red male connector from the speed control into
the red female connector from the included Y-harness as shown in Fig. 4.
Plug the other red male connectors from the Y-harness into the red female
connectors from the winch and the other accessory.
• For custom installations (Fig. 5)
The winch may be mounted to a at surface and attached with up to four
2.5x10mm screws through the bottom of the winch. The maximum depth
of the screws into the winch is 9.5 mm. Remove the winch mount and

#8864 grey, 8864R red, 8864X blue, each sold separately).
2. Insert the other end of the line through the washer and then tie it to
the winch hook as shown in Fig. 5.

Freespool Feature
The Traxxas winch is equipped with a Freespool feature that allows you
to manually pull the winch line out for fast operation. Press and hold the
freespool button (see Fig. 2) while pulling the line out to the desired length.
Always use the wireless remote to wind the line back on the winch spool.
