Product Summary for Kyosho O-40116VE EP Airstreak 500 VE

The Kyosho O-40116VE EP Airstreak 500 VE is a 1/10 electric racing boat that brings together Kyosho engineering and ORION VORTEX Marine electronics. The package features the ORION VORTEX Marine 500 brushless motor and the ORION 80A BL controller with water cooling to reduce thermal stress during prolonged high-speed use.

Hull Layout and Driving Character

The distinctive V-shaped lower hull delivers strong acceleration and predictable tracking through turns. The Airstreak 500 VE is supplied as a Readyset with the Perfex KT-6 2-channel radio and one servo pre-installed, allowing pilots to focus on setup and practice rather than assembly.

Stability and Impact Protection

Designed with an unsinkable hull structure and a kick-up rudder, the boat reduces the risk of damage from underwater impacts. Large stern flaps contribute to improved stability at high speed so handling stays composed in typical racing conditions.

The Kyosho O-40116VE EP Airstreak 500 VE is well suited to enthusiasts seeking a compact, ready-to-run electric racing boat with robust electronics and a hull designed for speed and control.

A 2S Li-Po pack in the 3000 to 4500mAh range is commonly used to balance speed, weight and runtime on the stock setup.
The motor and ESC are marinised with a water-cooling path, but always verify seals and keep connectors protected to prevent water ingress into sensitive areas.
Like most high-speed hulls, vegetation can foul the prop and reduce performance. Avoid weedy waters and clear any obstructions promptly to protect the drive train.
With a suitable 2S Li-Po and calm conditions, the Airstreak 500 VE can approach the quoted 43km/h figure, though exact speed depends on prop selection and battery condition.
