Unleashing the Power of the Kyosho 40117 EP AIRSTREAK 500
The Kyosho 40117 EP AIRSTREAK 500 is not just another RC boat; it's a finely tuned machine designed for those who crave speed and precision on the water. The 660mm FRP hull is engineered for performance, featuring a specialized bottom shape that ensures both durability and agility. This model stands out with its deep-V design complemented by a V-edged step and stringer combination, allowing it to achieve planing quickly and maintain stability during high-speed turns.
Innovative Design for Superior Performance
At the core of the AIRSTREAK 500's design is its ability to glide effortlessly across the water. The hull's unique V-edge step near the center of gravity optimizes water contact during turns, making it a formidable contender in any racing scenario. The deck and cabin, crafted from high-grade FRP, reinforce the boat's structural integrity, ensuring it withstands the rigors of competitive use.
Precision Engineering with Safety Features
One notable feature is the aluminum rudder, which is hard anodized in blue for enhanced strength. It includes a water intake port, eliminating the need for an additional intake pipe and reducing drag. The rudder's design allows it to lift upon contact with obstacles, minimizing damage and enhancing safety.
Customizable Power and Control
The AIRSTREAK 500 invites customization with its spacious interior, accommodating a standard size R/C system and your choice of motor and battery. The included water-cooling jacket ensures your motor stays at optimal temperatures, enhancing performance and longevity.
