Himoto Katana E10XTL 1:10

In cars from the Hong Kong company Himoto, everyone will find something of their own: an exciting toy, a model armed to the teeth, a valuable gift, etc. All these character traits are united under one wing by the Katana E10XTL truggie in 1:10 scale.

Aki fish in water

The best test site for testing the driving performance of a model is off-road, where the machine feels like a fish in water. The main character in its design is the 3215KV brushless motor. Also, “under the hood” of the car, you can see a servo drive, which is responsible for turning the front wheels, and a speed controller with active cooling, which sets the engine speed in accordance with commands from the remote control.

serious preparation

The Himoto Katana E10XTL 1:10 chassis is also in perfect order. Judge for yourself, oil-filled shock absorbers, high-quality differentials and permanent all-wheel drive are serious arguments in favor of the increased cross-country ability of the model in the absence of an asphalt road under the wheels. The car briskly takes off and in the blink of an eye picks up speed up to 60 km/h.

Energy core

A standard battery with a capacity of 2000 mAh with an operating voltage of 7.4 V is assigned to the role of the energy centre of the truggy. Unfortunately, you can’t go far on it — the time of arrival on a single battery charge rests on a 15-minute “ceiling”. You can pump the power reserve and power of the engine by installing a battery of a higher capacity with a voltage of 11.1 V, since their assortment on store shelves shines with variety.

Thunderstorm of the middle class

Commands to the machine are given from the remote control, the range of which reaches 150 m in the line of sight. In a separate line, the manufacturer of the truggy focuses on the waterproof design of his offspring, however, it is still not recommended to overcome water barriers on it in order to avoid failure of the electronic “hardware”. On other fronts, the model captivates with build quality, high-strength construction and attractive appearance, for which it is awarded the title of “thunderstorm of the middle class” of radio-controlled cars.
