Kyosho Burns is a 1/8 scale four-wheel-drive, two stroke, off-road competition buggy which was released as a kit from 1987 up until 1992, with five different specifications to meet different price points. It had a robust platform which was easily upgradable with good performance even at an entry level. The success of the platform also lead to it being used for Kyosho's 1:8 scale monster truck, the USA-1 Nitro Crusher.
Kyosho designer and driver Yuichi Kanai started his involvement with the Turbo Burns and carried several parts and many design elements over to the classic Inferno series of cars which were produced from 1991 to 1996. The classic Inferno would later go on to win every IFMAR championship during its production run.
