Heat it with Halko Racing! - Hobby Letter #26/21

8.10.2021

Halko Racing RC products

Hello, Heikki here from EuroRC International Headquarters and I hope that you are goood! We have been a bit busy lately as we have been jackhammering our webshop to suit better your user experience. For example, we fine tuned our Menu System and you should now be able to find our excellent RC Cars and all the other equipment much easier. Streamlining, bro! Go check it out! Our RC Car Bodies Section is now in fresh order and we expanded our Storage and Scale RC -categories to mention some of the new features.

Today we take a quick insight in our own in-house brand, Halko Racing. Remember to follow us in Instagram @halkoracing and don't forget sweet daily updates and insights from Storage Room, @eurorc_warehouse

Halko Brushed Crawler Motors

Radio Control hobby today is a world of extremes. In the other end we hit speeds of +160kmh with overpowered shiny speed runners and in the other end we have slow but high on torque crawling rough and dirty Off-road rigs.

Many people love to build Scale Realistic but functional model cars. Movement and behavior of these amazingly realistic RC trucks should be as real as possible and this means that you don't benefit much putting your fastest brushless racing combo in it. Sure, there are pure performance oriented crawlers but for your daily cruiser we recommend our Halko Brushed Motors.

Why so? Why is our motor better than othe brushed basic motors that cost next to nothing? First thing that comes in mind is that with our own in-house Halko branded products we never go with the cheapest option we can google. We respect quality as much as you do. Second thing is that our brushed motor is fully serviceable. You can open it, clean it and replace the brushes when their time is up. Third difference is the "Skewed Armature" - type of design that provides smoother startup while maintaining near the same torque, RPM, and power as normal brushed motors.

We have Halko Brushed Crawler Motors available in 35T, 45T and 55T options. Fastest version, 35T is considered to hit the "sweet spot" of competition level scale trucks. On personal level I prefer torque over the speed so the slowest, 55T is a perfect choice for my Land Rovers.

Halko Turner 1.0 Waterproof 17kg Servo

Stock servo is one of the most common things to give up in your RC. They are weak, they have plastic gears that let you down just when you are having fun and they are very depressing in every possible way one can imagine. Replacing your stock (or just old) servo is one of the best things you can do for your RC Car. Different cars have different needs but we are pretty confident that our own spec Halko Turner 1.0WP 17kg Digital Servo with metal gears is almost perfect Jack-of-all-Trades type of RC wheel turner.

Many people look (and believe without questioning) only the reported amount of the power the servo is supposed to lift. These numbers are more than often based on pure imagination. Maybe your servo from alibooba can lift 28kg but can it really hold it there and for how long before it stalls? Is it really as powerful as reported? What metal are those metal gears?

We know that our servo holds what it promises. Being waterproof it makes a safe choice for almost any type of truck from Monsters to Buggies and all the way to most crawlers. Remember that even the best servo can explode to millions of pieces at any moment so it is a good idea to have a spare servo in your Field Kit. Halko Turner 1.0WP uses the most common 25T teeth servo arms.

Halko Sport Series LiPO-batteries

There is never enough of batteries when you go racing or have an intensive bashing session. Modern day brushless electronics and full 4WD driven heavy monster wheels suck the free electrons from your battery like a vampire. Again, when we made the battery manufactures battle against each other to get our deal, we did not choose the cheapest one. We know what you want from your batteries and while one may have to pay a little more when purchasing, one will get many times more fun out of real quality RC batteries.

Our batteries have also very high discharge rate and are available in most common connectors so that you dont need to fuzz with adapters anymore. Just Charge and Go!

Find Halko Sport Series of RC LiPO batteries here!

Halko Charging Cables, Adapters and Whatnots

We keep slowly adding essential RC equipment in our family of Halko Racing. There is already a plenty of stuff available so I've picked some of the most interesting ones right here:

Halko LiPO 2S-6S Battery Voltage Checker with Alarm. Check the charge levels or use as a low level alarm while driving.

Halko Charging Cables with Multiple Connectors. Check these out. No-one else has these and we selected a bit beefier cables for our own octopussy type of cable. It is also a bit longer than other charging cables. Keep the spaghetti in the bowl and not in your workbench.

Halko LED System with Control Unit. Adding a functional set of lights makes your RC car look superior and now when the ground is getting colder, they really help you out to spot the trail or the direction of your car from distance.

Check out the full Halko Racing family and follow our socials to catch latest news. Rumor on the Storage Room has that there is more Halko goodness already on its way..!

Nature photo of the month! Here we can see a pretty common male Arrma Kraton 6S in its natural enviroment. See how proudly it spreards its tires to show it's size and power to impress the female trucks around. This time of the year male Kratons are very strict about their territory and protect their surroundings very aggressively. Ground hitting wheelie bar indicates that this unit is ready to mate with other trucks in any given change. Ain't nature beautiful!
