Kyosho 40117 EP AIRSTREAK 500 Tunable FRP Hull R/C Boat  [KY40117]

What the Kyosho 40117 EP AIRSTREAK 500 Delivers on the Water

The Kyosho 40117 EP AIRSTREAK 500 is crafted for precise, fast running and repeatable handling. Its 660mm FRP hull is formed to provide a strong, responsive base with a bottom profile that emphasises durability without compromising agility. The deep-V coupled with a V-edged step and stringer reinforcement helps the hull reach the plane quickly and hold line through aggressive manoeuvres.

Stability, Planing and Turn Control

The V-edge step near the centre of gravity improves water release during turns, helping the boat remain predictable at speed. The FRP deck and canopy are built to strengthen key load points so the hull resists flex and keeps setup settings consistent during extended use.

Steering Quality and Protection Features

Featuring a hard anodised blue aluminium rudder, the steering element is robust and includes a water intake to simplify cooling plumbing while reducing drag. The rudder can lift on impact which helps protect the control linkages and lowers repair risk after strikes.

Installation Space and Cooling Accessories

The interior allows for a standard R/C system plus a variety of motor and battery choices. The supplied water-cooling jacket helps keep the motor within safe operating temperatures, and three different nylon propellers are included so you can select the prop that best suits your chosen motor and intended running style.

The Kyosho 40117 EP AIRSTREAK 500 is a dependable, tuneable platform for model boaters who want a balance of speed, stability and upgrade potential for both competitive and recreational outings.
