They are more for scaler guys. Those that pack their trucks with realistic gear, then set the tents out on them when they reach their destination and have a 1/10 scale cookout. Those guys try not to touch their trucks with 1:1 hands. Or they're for comp crawlers. And obviously kids 😆
The Traxxas brushless motors, or any brushless motors for that matter are far less prone to problems. That is unless you run them hot.
And I didn't say anything about your Traxxas cars. But the servos and ESC's in your cars are junk 🤣
All electronic stuff from Traxxas is crap. I don't know about their winches, but their servos and ESC's are prone to going bad with very little use. With that, I'd be very leary of that winch as well.
What idea? Putting a piece of Traxxas junk on an Axial? 🤣 Not I. Nope. Never said that.
Wait... you said they're only good for competition. You planning on entering a crawler event?
These are the RC4WD winch bumpers for the TRX-4.

They have other, more expensive winches too if you scroll down the page.
