NavyShooter Posted June 14, 2022 Share #1 Posted June 14, 2022 Good afternoon all, I'm on the hunt for an Anchor Winch. I've got an R/C Aircraft carrier (see my thread on the Bonnie if you're interested) and I'd like to have a functional anchor onboard. Can anyone recommend a good, functional winch system that I could buy? Thanks!

lmagna Posted June 14, 2022 Share #2 Posted June 14, 2022 Not certain of the size of the Bonnie's winch and chain but in RC it is usually a simple matter of running the chain over the winch drum (or around the capstan) and hide the actual operational winch under the deck just below. https://www.amazon.com/Electic-Vehicle-Crawler-Accessory-Controller/dp/B07N8YVXCH/ref=asc_df_B07N8YVXCH/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=344022289111&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11046223499574246901&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033347&hvtargid=pla-723665476058&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=74886007568&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=344022289111&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11046223499574246901&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033347&hvtargid=pla-723665476058 You do normally need something heavier than a plastic anchor to make it work smoothly though. mtaylor and NavyShooter 2 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyShooter Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted June 17, 2022 Thanks for the suggestion Lou - that's about all that seems to come up when I hit google. mtaylor and lmagna 2 Quote Brad/NavyShooter Pending Launch: RMS Titanic - 1/100 - 3D Print - Pond Float display Build Log: HMCS Bonaventure- 1/96 - A Fitting Out Completed Build: HMCS St Thomas - 1/48 - 3D printed Bens Worx Completed Build: 3D Printed Liberty Ship - 1/96 - RC A slightly grumpy, not quite retired ex-RCN Chief....hanging my hat (or helmet now...) in the Halifax NS area.

lmagna Posted June 17, 2022 Share #4 Posted June 17, 2022 I knew a guy years ago up in BC Canada who used to make his own operational scale winches for the Tugs he built. But they were masterpieces of machining engineering and well beyond mere mortals like me! I have made a couple of larger operational scale tug towing winches in past years using servo parts, but none of them were small scale anchor winches. mtaylor and NavyShooter 2 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyShooter Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share #5 Posted July 12, 2022 I found a guy in Germany that sells an Ankerwinde kit. I've ordered two...we'll see how they look when they get here, and I'm hoping that google-translate has actually worked for me! My high-school German was a bit rusty.
