RC 1/10th Scale Winch Fairlead Adapter for Vaterra Ascender

thingiverse

Made this wedge to mount in the Ascender bumper so that I could mount the roller fairlead from my AliExpress winch and make it clean. There are two versions: 1) Screw-in: Screws go through the adapter into the holes meant for the stock fairlead in the bumper. Then Screws go through the metal roller fairlead into the adapter. I found too difficult to get screws in both angles so close together so instead I decided to design the: 2) Glue-in: Instead of screw holes to mount the adapter to the bumper, I removed those holes and glued it into the bumper. Then screwed the roller fairlead to the adapter. Since no real strain is placed on the adapter, it gluing should hold just fine. Mounted the winch on the servo rails on the chassis and so the working winch now
