I didn't mean to belittle the plastic, I was just surprised it wasn't aluminum. Might leave the motor-side off for heat dissapation. Also, maybe, I just wanted an excuse to post pics of the new winch.Well, even a thick plastic can help dissipate impact and abrasion from damaging a cast aluminum chassis. That wouldnāt bother me much.
āAs for the scratches, they may have used a steel cable to function test it at the factory. I vaguely remember similar marks on the drum of my X2O the last time I had the rope off, though not that bad.
They all have those scratches i have no idea what that is. I thought it was damaged, i use a dremel to smooth it and painted it with rust oleum. Probably shouldve left it alone@entropy couldn't resist, just unboxed the winch to check it out.
The "armour" is plastic!
Question: do you remember if your drum had some weird sort of scratches spiraling around it? Maybe across 60%
