I like the crimp idea or I was thinking glue it again and put the shrink wrap on and put glue down in the crevices between the wrap and the cord. Maybe thatll help it stay strong and hold.
For mine, instead of just glue I used some serving string I have laying around for when I work on compound bows, very strong and thin, or you could use braided fishing string also, then a little glue and string tube. 👍🏼
Wow that’s cool. Almost works better than a winch. Just make sure to stand back when using it and setting it. If that thing snaps and hits your hand or leg it would hurt with that metal hook. I might try one on my trx4
I've been making some bungee cords for my rigs using 1/8" cord and de-barbed fish hooks. I use a couple of inches of Malin Co. Aircraft Stainless Steel Lockwire .032" to bind the bungee to the hook by wrapping it around the bungee and the hook shank. Holds very well and might work for your hook too.
theses can also be used as a snap strap you just hook it onto like a rock or a tree root and you hook up your winch to it and the kinetic energy will actually help you pull up a lot more
I really like their kinetic ropes alot, they work awesome!!! I didn't see this set up when I ordered mine. Time to order one!!! You picked the best color!!🤘🤘
DSM off ROAD,, I like it,,👌 That reset is the stuff,, looking forward to, Did all ready look at this for the trx4 sport, I see you have two little pulleis, cool, Thanks for sharing, 👌NC MOUNTAINS🏞 back yard RC.AND MORE.
Definitely the best of all DSM's great products. Ive already upgraded most of my rigs to the integrated system. The dual pulley option is a game changer too!
When I made mine I had the same problem with the loop coming undone. The trick is to make your loop. Then put your hook in a vise. Pinch the end of the line with vise grips. Stretch your loop then wrap and glue it. If you glue and wrap it without the line stretched. When it stretches it gets smaller and the glue doesn't hold. Good luck brother!!!
Awesome! I havnt been in the crawler scene long. I just found out about DSM a few months ago. I been slowly getting stuff ordered for them. I got a TRX4 Bronco that is probably going to get converted to this. TRX6 that will soon. Already put a regular self recovery on my sons TRX4 sport, and looking to possibly get this setup for my Capra once I find out what it can and cant do this summer.
It works for heavier vehicles just not as well as it's all down to physics. Any glue joint will not work for that application. A mechanical fastener or proper knot is the only way to go.
This feels way stronger, gear keeper in some ways is more compact, however I’ve already killed a gear keeper internally from the dust and debris. This one being open seems more reliable.
Or maybe try using a bread tie to wrap up the end of that line with so it don't come undone again bud. Burn the plastic off of the wire first of course, or just use wire that strong and that small. It don't have to be a bread tie per say
I love your truck even though I've got the same axles which my rear one ended up having mechanical failure to the point where it has broken one of the screw mounts that holds the bearing in I have snapped a hex pin and the crown and pinion would only go forward but not backwards and I'm pretty sure it probably failed due to after going through one to many swollen flash floods so now I'm up for a new axle housing new crown and pinion and some new hex pins
This is such an ingenious idea you dont have a 540can brushless system you are willing to trade for anything and I mean anything I have a complete trx4 radio and all very clean and runs great I just need a brushless for my scx10 3 I justordered
You shouldn't have had to undo the hook end of you would have routed it through the bumper and ran it to the mounting point that was kinda strange......
He had to shorten the line up and wasn't sure the best way to go about it. He has an early release kit, they now include instructions with how to shorten the cords and reattach the hooks back onto them.
We have added install guides to our website for the TRX-4, Gen8 and Element RC Enduro platforms in addition to the SCX10 and Wraith 1.9 trucks. dsmoffroad.com/pages/how-tos
I've looked at one but haven't tried to install one on the Capra yet. It looks like it would require some creative routing. Going to order a Capra so I can try it.
Short answer, no. After tearing into the truck there just isn't an easy way to make this work without a lot of modification. Here's our suggestion for the Axial Capra: dsmoffroad.com/pages/axial-capra-recovery-options
I like the crimp idea or I was thinking glue it again and put the shrink wrap on and put glue down in the crevices between the wrap and the cord. Maybe thatll help it stay strong and hold.
All of our loop ends use a metal crimps and now Joe knows why haha
LoL I sure do!
For mine, instead of just glue I used some serving string I have laying around for when I work on compound bows, very strong and thin, or you could use braided fishing string also, then a little glue and string tube. 👍🏼
I just made the smallest single-knot I could, and saturated it with superglue. Seems solid enough, though yours probably looks nicer. :]
I own a good bit of DSM products. I recommend everyone to have at least one to have on hand.
If that glue comes apart use a needle and thread and put a few loops around and through the line.

Heck yes, Auto retract! Lol. I'm pretty sure I NEED a couple of these.
Dsm works great on the light weight rig awesome!!
Awesome product! I installed the self recovery system on my sons trx4 and it works great! Super simple and gets the job done

Love that tension retract. 👍🏼👍🏼
Just ordered mine in blue. Thanks Joe
That is a nice option. I think I’m going to have to get one for my honcho!

Oh man that’s awesome! I was wondering how those work! Thanks for sharing, too cool! 👍😃👍 Have a good day man!
Definitely the best of all DSM's great products. Ive already upgraded most of my rigs to the integrated system.
The dual pulley option is a game changer too!
Local scene i play they actually ban the usage of elastic rope. We use real servo winches or superwinch
Yeah it depends on who is running the events. We allow it just like a normal or servo winch.
Definitely ordering this system!! Smart idea. Definitely beats the price of a good winch and the weight of one . 👍👍👍
Winner Winner chicken dinner! I’ve installed sooo many winches, but don’t like to bog down the fun using them. This I will use. Thank you Bro!
I think I'm gonna get a bright yellow one to simulate a 'yank um rope' for my TRX4 Mats Off road recovery Jeep build.👍
WOW worked so good he should be so proud of this, so simple but yet effective
Thanks for the post
Thanks Paul
Groovy! Had to share this because of your sweet installation, always appreciate that ya'll never do anything sloppy.
Wow I'm definitely getting this for both my rigs, I've been thinking about getting a winch but this is so much faster and more convenient 👌👊
After you glue it Sew it a few times then heat shrink. Thats a great recovery system!!

Stretch your loop then wrap and glue it. If you glue and wrap it without the line stretched. When it stretches it gets smaller and the glue doesn't hold. Good luck brother!!!
Correct, we do not glue any of our loop ends. They all use a metal crimp. And now Joe knows why lol
LoL yep!
Yeah wrap it with fishing line and glue it good idea
that thang is awesome.

What good idea 👍
Your right.....AWESOME
Can you do this test with a heavier vehicle? My god, that was impressive. For the heatshrink, try one that has glue built in.

Any glue joint will not work for that application. A mechanical fastener or proper knot is the only way to go.
How does it compare to the gear keeper?
This feels way stronger, gear keeper in some ways is more compact, however I’ve already killed a gear keeper internally from the dust and debris. This one being open seems more reliable.
Awesome! that is even better than the Keeper thing. I put it on my Amazon wishlist. Thanks for sharing!
The Houleigan Amazon will have them in stock in a week or two. Thanks.
@@DSMOffRoad Cool! thanks!

being able to reverse so easily with that...wow...
Maybe a drop of liquid nail. It's pretty cheap and works pretty well
Just ordered mine from DSM. Thanks for great review.👍
Search bow serving knots. It will work perfect for that
This is such an ingenious idea you dont have a 540can brushless system you are willing to trade for anything and I mean anything I have a complete trx4 radio and all very clean and runs great I just need a brushless for my scx10 3 I justordered
You can get heatshrink that has glue on the inside wall
Still won't hold it back. Need to use a mechanical fastener or proper knot.
@@DSMOffRoad I was only implying that it would stop the heatshrink from coming off again not hold the loop.
Just ordered one
I think thats my stubby high mount bumper I uploaded to thingiverse. Thats awesome!
I would recommend getting a crimp connector from the electrical department at ur local improvement store.
Awesome!!! 💪🔥
Stop showing me stuff that I didn't know I need and want.
Love it. I want. Lol
That setup is awesome. Well done!
You can sou it also together
really nice
You shouldn't have had to undo the hook end of you would have routed it through the bumper and ran it to the mounting point that was kinda strange......
I coulda done that but I still needed to shorten it up a bit.
He had to shorten the line up and wasn't sure the best way to go about it. He has an early release kit, they now include instructions with how to shorten the cords and reattach the hooks back onto them.
Use a hog ring to secure the hook
These are cool
Is it wrapped around the pulleys to help pull the rear end up? Is this better than or does it just another option in place of a winch?
Absolutely Amazing i cant wiat to set 1 up on my sport
I have a TRX4 Sport coming today to do a how-to for the website.
@@DSMOffRoad you are awesome i cant wait i was already thinking about what to do
Sport is super easy and only needs included parts. Will have the install in the tech section on the website later tonight.
@@DSMOffRoad awesome will it be on your CZcams tonight
Can it be installed in ancapra
waiting fpr my DSM to arrive :D
Like 🤩👍
Niiice!

AWESOME video man. 🔥👍👍🔥💯🔥
It would be cool to see a video of the system installed on optimus 3
Do you have a link for that bumper. I was looking for one just like it
I can't find this anywhere! 😢
You need to whip the line after you fold it over, it will never come loose.
Do you like this better then the gear keeper??
Both are similar, but I’ve killed a gearkeeper due to debris getting inside it. I doubt that would be an issue with this setup.
Very cool
Those are sweet what did it cost?
They sell for $26.95
Wow!🔥💪🏼
Have you tested this on a gen 8 axe? I was wondering how it performs on a heavy truck like the axe.
Génial
Thanks!
@@DSMOffRoad merci
That was amazing awesome lol
Nice cheat tools sir 🤣🤣
LoL love these things
@@ExocagedRC yep me too 🤣
A servo winch with no servo.
Joe how does the pull compare to the gear keeper?
It pulls harder and is simpler
Will it work with a Capra
I don’t know. Would have to find routing for it.
I've looked at one but haven't tried to install one on the Capra yet. It looks like it would require some creative routing. Going to order a Capra so I can try it.
DSM Off-Road I’m all in if it works
