Re: Winches and alternatives to the modulox lunchbox?

We have decided that this is not necessary/reasonably possible, so we decided that we wanted to use the modulox lunchbox like in the robot in 3 days video. Of course they are out of stock now, so that is no longer an option.

So, Can someone please recommend an alternative to the modulox lunchbox, like the one used in the robot in 3 days video?
The Lunchbox is back in stock!

It was out of stock due to the 1/2" Hex Shaft Collars which are not needed for the winch assembly. This part is not supplied by iR3 but we do keep a small inventory and will be sending this to AM as reserves if needed. You could also order the specific parts required for this assembly without a problem.

We apologize for this temporary inconvenience it was certainly unexpected.
