Overview of the Kyosho O-40116VE EP Airstreak 500 VE

Kyosho teamed up with ORION to create the Kyosho O-40116VE EP Airstreak 500 VE, a 1/10 scale electric racing boat focused on controllable speed and durability. The package includes the ORION VORTEX Marine 500 brushless motor and an 80A water-cooled BL controller to maintain steady temperatures during extended runs.

Hull Engineering and Handling

The Airstreak's V-profile lower hull is engineered for strong acceleration, responsive cornering and reinforced impact resistance. Delivered as a factory-assembled Readyset with the Perfex KT-6 radio and a single servo installed, it is ready for field testing with minimal setup.

Protection and Control Features

Built with an unsinkable hull layout and a kick-up rudder, the boat reduces the risk of damage from submerged obstacles. Large stern flaps stabilise the boat at speed and help keep tracking steady in choppy conditions.

For model boaters who want a compact racer with factory-fitted electronics and proven cooling, the Kyosho O-40116VE EP Airstreak 500 VE balances ease of use with competitive speed.

A 2S Li-Po around 3500 to 4500mAh is a good compromise for spirited runs while keeping weight reasonable for handling.
The V-shaped hull improves rough-water performance, but very choppy seas will still affect top speed and control. Choose calmer venues for best results.
Common service parts such as propellers, rudder components and seals are available through Kyosho dealers; keep spares for regular upkeep.
Rinse the cooling inlets after each session, check tubing for blockages and ensure water passages are clear to maintain efficient cooling.
