RS9 High Speed Winch Kit by Carbon Offroad

The Carbon Offroad RS9 High Speed Winch Kit is built for one job: getting you unstuck fast. An 8.0HP series-wound motor paired with a performance-tuned 80:1 gear ratio gives this winch the quickest line speed in the Scout Pro RS Series, so you're not standing around waiting for cable to pay out on a distant anchor point.

This is the race-spec end of Carbon Offroad's line-up. The RS9 sits on the weight-optimised V3 chassis, trimming front-axle weight so your steering and suspension aren't fighting a heavy lump of iron over the front wheels. You still get a rated line pull of up to 4080kg (9000lb), a full 42 metres of 8mm Spectra™ Fibre synthetic rope for reaching anchor points that would otherwise need an extension, and a MegaPro Hook fitted as standard rather than sold separately.

It's aimed at drivers who care about cycle times as much as raw pulling power: winch challenge and competition entrants, and anyone running a fast-paced touring or 4WD adventure setup who wants their recovery gear to keep up. The RS9 bolts onto a standard 254mm x 114.3mm mounting pattern, so it drops into most compatible bull bars and winch cradles without custom fabrication, and it's ready to run the Carbon Offroad Air Freespool Clutch Upgrade if you want to ditch the manual clutch lever down the track.

Features

  • High-speed gearing - An 8.0HP 12V series-wound motor and 80:1 gear ratio, tuned specifically for fast line speed under load, not just raw torque.
  • Weight-optimised V3 chassis - Built to cut front-axle weight so handling and suspension performance stay closer to standard.
  • 42m of Spectra™ Fibre synthetic rope - 8mm (5/16") UHMWPE rope for extended reach to anchor points further from the vehicle.
  • MegaPro Hook included - Competition-grade hook fitted as standard, not an optional extra.
  • IP68 sealed - High-grade seals keep water, dust and mud out of the internals during creek crossings and dusty runs.
  • Standard mounting footprint - 254mm x 114.3mm bolt pattern fits most compatible bull bars and winch cradles.
  • Air Freespool ready - Compatible with the Carbon Offroad Air Freespool Clutch Upgrade (sold separately) for onboard-air-controlled freespooling.
  • Backed by Carbon Offroad's warranty - Limited Lifetime Mechanical Warranty, 5-year Electrical Warranty, and 5-year Water Ingress Protection Warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many amps does the Carbon Offroad RS9 pull under load?

Current draw climbs as load increases: around 55A with no load, 180A at 1816kg (4000lb), 310A at 3180kg (7000lb), and up to 440A at the rated 4080kg (9000lb) pull. Wiring and battery setup should be sized to handle the higher end of that range under sustained use.

What battery setup do I need to run a 9000lb-class winch like the RS9?

A winch in this class needs a high cranking-amp battery capable of sustained heavy draw, and many operators run a dual-battery setup so winching doesn't drain the vehicle's starting battery. Exact sizing depends on your vehicle and how the winch will be wired in, so it's worth checking with a qualified auto electrician for your specific setup.

Is synthetic rope better than steel cable for a winch like this?

The RS9 comes standard with 8mm Spectra™ Fibre synthetic rope rather than steel cable. Synthetic rope is lighter, which supports the RS9's front-axle weight-saving design, and it doesn't store the same kinetic energy as steel if it fails under load. Steel cable is more abrasion-resistant on sharp rock, but for a speed and weight-focused winch like the RS9, synthetic is the standard fit.

Is the RS9 compatible with the Carbon Offroad Air Freespool Clutch Upgrade?

Yes. The RS9 is built on the Carbon Offroad V3 chassis and is designed for use with the Air Freespool Clutch Upgrade (sold separately), which lets you freespool the drum from your onboard air system instead of the manual clutch lever.

Will the RS9 fit my existing bull bar or winch cradle?

The RS9 uses a standard 254mm x 114.3mm mounting bolt pattern, which fits most compatible bull bars and winch cradles without custom fabrication. Always confirm your specific bar or cradle is rated for a winch of this size before fitting.

What water and dust protection does the RS9 have?

The RS9 is IP68 rated, with high-grade seals designed to keep water, dust and mud out of the internals during creek crossings and dusty conditions. As with any winch, it's worth inspecting seals and connections periodically and following the manufacturer's care instructions to keep that protection intact over time.

What warranty comes with the Carbon Offroad RS9?

The RS9 is covered by Carbon Offroad's Limited Lifetime Mechanical Warranty, a 5-year Electrical Warranty, and a 5-year Water Ingress Protection Warranty. Refer to the manufacturer's warranty terms for full coverage details and claim conditions.

How far can the RS9 reach in a single pull?

The RS9 carries 42 metres (137ft) of synthetic rope on the drum, giving you extended reach to anchor points that would otherwise need a rope extension.
