Kyosho Burns (京商 バーンズ, Kyōshō buunsu) and Kyosho Inferno (京商 インファーノ, Kyōshō infaano) is a series of 1:8 radio-controlled off-road buggy manufactured by Kyosho. The buggies were known widely in its early models as the Burns (バーンズ, buunsu) in 1988 and thereafter in 1992, became known as the Inferno (インファーノ, infaano), retaining its fire theme.

Created with the goal of winning the IFMAR 1:8 IC Off-Road World Championship, it became notable for its success in 1:8 off-road racing, it yielded a total of eight IFMAR Worlds (consisting of six consecutive wins, tying with Associated RC12 for the overall record), nine Euros, five French, six British, sixteen Japanese championships and six ROAR Nationals in the United States; all a record for a 1:8 off-road model car.

The radio-controlled buggy specific website NeoBuggy regards the recent MP9 series as the "the standard bearer in 1/8 Offroad" in the face of numerous strong oppositions such as Mugen Seiki (MBX), Team Associated (RC8), TLR (8IGHT), HB Racing, etc. As a result of strong competitions, they no longer taste the dominance they enjoyed upto the first half of 2000s.[1]

Based on it's 1:10 counterpart consisting of similar suspension geometry considered to be modern even by today's standards, it was additionally notable for breaking the perception that 1:8 buggies were unreliable and complicated, as a result, with Kyosho's marketing campaign beginning in 1990, it was also instrumental for the still ongoing (as of 14 May 2024) 1:8 off-road boom in North America. http://www.rcmag.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=886571

Overview[edit]

The Inferno was a continuation of it's 1:8 buggies that began all the way back with the Dash III in 1972[2]

At the time, although Kyosho already had a car in the market with the LandJump/Vanning series; in addition to being expensive, 1:8 off-road buggies were seen as unreliable, difficult to learn and to run amongst others.[3][4] In North America, 1:8 racing was largely restricted to on-road[3] which by the mid-eighties, had fallen out of favor with manufacturers.[5]

Because of this, 1:8 off-road racing was restricted to Europe and Japan


[6]

In the United States, in a market dominated by 1:10 electric off-road buggies and stadium trucks, Kyosho took the initiative to promote the class in 1991 by organizing the Kyosho 1:8 Off-Road Challenge[3]


[3]

The class ran for through the 1990s


The first ROAR Nationals for the 1:8 buggy took place in 1997

At the inaugural world championship in 1986, taking place in Grenoble, France; it became clear that Kyosho fielded outdated cars with their Integra 4WD Presto but they learned their lessons by took numerous photographs of their competitor's cars.[7]

Kyosho's main goal was to design and build a car that is capable of winning the IFMAR 1:8 Off-Road World Championship[8]

The end result became the Burns 4WD, designed by Akira Kogawa who also designed many of Kyosho's important 1:10 off-road buggies in the 1980s such as the Scorpion, Tomahawk, Optima and Ultima.

It became the first buggy with modern design & geometry[7]

When he left Kyosho for a working opportunity in the United States with Hobby Products International in 1988, his design assistant, Yuichi Kanai, took over beginning with the Turbo Burns and has became synonymous with the cars since.


The 1990 IFMAR 1:8 IC Off-Road World Championship marked the beginning of the Kyosho era as 60% of participants (66 drivers) drove a Turbo Burns. The A-main saw seven Kyoshos in the grid but was eventually held off the first two podium places by a pair of Mugen Seikis.[9]


By 1993, the Inferno and it's less expensive version, the Inferno DX, became the most popular models of its class.[10]

Overall, the family of cars have achieved a total of 8 IFMAR Worlds, 9 EFRA European 1:8 IC Off-Road Championship, 14 Deutsche Meisterschaften Verbrenner Off-Road 1:8,[11] 9 BRCA Rallycross National Championship, 16 JMRCA All-Japan 1:8 GP Off-Road Championship,[12] 6 ROAR 1:8 Fuel Off-Road National Championship[13] amongst others.

Burns 4WD (バーンズ 4WD, buunsu)

Yuichi Kanai drove a Burns to a Top Qualifier spot at the 1988 IFMAR 1:8 IC Off-Road World Championship, earning a place at the Semi-final group A race. Needing to make up for lost position following a transmitter glitch, he took advantage of its build quality over the triple jump. After making up from 5th place, rather than settling for 3rd assuring of a place in the final, he took the opportunity to send the car airborne as high as possible until the front suspension arm broke, forcing him to retire.[7],


used a flat aluminum chassis pan

bevel-gear differentials

same design features and suspension geometry as the Optima Mid

adjustable upper arms to make the Burns adapt to a variety of terrains [14]
