We have an active current management system in place too...
It will be interesting.

We are running on all Talon SRX controllers. (Utilizing CAN... we did that successfully last year too... the new CAN works quite well) this really cleans up the wiring... all encoders are run back through CAN. Reliable to date...
Whoa there, I'm interested to see what makes 4x775pros necessary for a 3-4 second climb. For our winch, we're using a single CIM, 10.71:1 reduction with a .5" pulley that gives a fairly robust ~4.5sec lift time.
