As the saying goes, if you have to ask you can't afford it!young pup wrote:does any one use the gigglepin winch? much better than say a warn or something? how much are we talking for one of these?
93 Nissan Pathfinder / Terrano Turboed VH45, GQ Trans and T-case, coil overs, hydraulic winch and fair bit of other stuff. (Currently a pile of parts in the workshop)
mmm dam, im only an apprentice of course i cant afford it... its taken me a years worth of saving to put in bit over 4k of suspension into my patrol, but i can save well.. (well always broke but when i do get money it gets pumped into my truck)

i got one of them... been sitting in my shed for a while waiting for the rest of the car to get finished so i can sit on
there fken ausome.... havnt had mine in action yet but just go watch some wich challanges...
put 24v into them adn they pull as fast if not faster then 1st gear low rang

Pretty sure the on track boys started with flammin fabs twin motor set up and later switched to the gigglepin winchs. Not sure why would be intresting too know.
TasMq why are hydro winchs crap compared to the gigglepin set ups ? Surly a well set up V8 powered hydro winch would pull just as well if not better than a twin motor high mount.

Anything is possible, it just comes down to time and money.

Just on a side note
There is a company up this way in Rockhampton... I think it is Russtuf?
And he builds triple motored low mount winch's that do 18km/h under full load... they are rediculous for winch challanges and as far as I can see at XWC where there was a number of Giggle Pin'd (just the hat) High mounts, the low mount blew them out of the water for outright speed.
Might be worth looking into?
The guy that builds the winch drove in Cliffhanger 09. Came 5th overall in the ARB Rockhampton GQ ute.
He works at ARB Rocky so worth calling there and asking about them?
I believe that they are alot less than $7G...

Gigglepin offer different gear ratio's, couls by why Ontrack changed.AFeral wrote:Pretty sure the on track boys started with flammin fabs twin motor set up and later switched to the gigglepin winchs. Not sure why would be intresting too know.

Yes they can be built and are faster but they are expensive as. I have heard as much as $20 000 and upwards.AFeral wrote:Pretty sure the on track boys started with flammin fabs twin motor set up and later switched to the gigglepin winchs. Not sure why would be intresting too know.

You really need to ask do you need a $10k+ winch, are you competing?young pup wrote:mmm dam, im only an apprentice of course i cant afford it... its taken me a years worth of saving to put in bit over 4k of suspension into my patrol, but i can save well..

If its the wow factor, put your money elsewhere in your truck
bit of a thread jack here, im lookin at going the gigglepin top hat soon. whats the most common ratio getting around these days for winch challenge? hoping to get over from WA to compete in the ATECO this year.
i read they make something bullsh*t like 60% faster now now thats all well and good if youve got a straight long pull but if you get stuck in a big rut problem is when you go to pull it in again you got more chance of snapping the rope right becuase of the increased line speed?
was thinking the 25% faster ones or possibly 40%. with 24v going through it its still going to haul ass.

Yep, but the fact is that you have two 12 volt 6HP motors being fed 24 volts. That sort of power from the motors can make sort work of a rope if it isn't in good condition, no matter which gearing you choose.Slunnie wrote:Increased linespeed will decrease the pull on the rope - you'll be less likely to snap the rope with the same given motor when running higher linespeed gears.
Yes, though thats different to what was asked and what I commented. I've made it pretty clear that my comment was in relation to the gear changes in isolation and not by doubling the motors and doubling the voltage.Mudzuki wrote:Yep, but the fact is that you have two 12 volt 6HP motors being fed 24 volts.

I got a full Gigglepin winch ( dual motors+freespool housing) on my Landy as mid winch.
I think the winch design is very clever and the quality is good, but it still takes me 2-4 flicks on the switch to make it work. The Gigglepin winches here have a better spring and work without any issues as far as I know. As I said, the design is spot on, but my experience is mixed.m
