What type?
I know we used the 2000lb winch in double dragon but I dont know how many other types there are if anyone knows or has pictures would be great.
Lifters
What is the best way to make it into a lifter and also the simplest?

Are you thinking of drives for a heavier weight class? _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems

The linear actuator I use in my feather is fairly simple. It is 822 grams. You just need limit switches. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems

yeah it looks like its got its electrics on its arse... but that should be able to be unbolted
the ones you used on double dragon had extra stages in the gear box …for feathers we want the others that are simpler i reckon _________________ Miles Blow - Julie Pitts

I wonder if a
hub motor
would be a good idea. They claim: "We can customize 8 inch pneumatic tyre hub motor to what you need in your application".
You would have a simple solution that didn't have hubs that come loose or chains to derail. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems

I think they would have the same problem as smaller brushless motors; poor low speed control. You can fix that with a large reduction gearbox but that's not an option with a hub motor. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

Winding shouldn't be a problem. Finding a decent controller for anything brushless perhaps more so. Although the kelly controller or some such large EV esc might do the trick. Definitely needs sensors. _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts
