Turbo Burns archive

[Mr Burns]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone knows of any Kyosho Turbo Burns archive? I'd love to see some reviews about them when they came out and stuff. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks:redbuggy:

i think you may be the only owner of one around here, unless someone is too shy to say something...

I remember when that came out. I wanted one so bad!!!

 

[Mr Burns]

I was 13 and my mum said she'd get me a car for my bday. I wanted a tamiya escort cosworth 1/10 ele as that was all she could afford. Went to the shop picked it out (the repsol one) and I was looking for a battery or something and i saw the burns in the corner secondhand, a bit battered but a runner. It was about £50 more and i just fell in love with it! sweet talked my mum and got it, and it ended up being a combined bday and xmas present (bearing in mind my bday's in June!). Loved it ever since (my mates only ever had electric) and I'll never sell it. (The end!)

I have two Burns that have been run to death and back. I upgraded one with all the Turbo parts except the counter sunk chasis. They have brought many hours of pleasure to my RC life. I still run them, along with a USA-1 Nitro and a Kanai 3. I stocked up on all the parts that break before they stopped making them, so I will run them for a few more years, just bought a new engine for one of them.
I also have a USA-1 Nitro in the box along with a few upgrades.

 

[Mr Burns]

Nice collection! I can still get most spare parts in the uk from the importer.

 

[bill61]

Thanx. Most of the parts that break are still available from Tower Hobbies, but there are fewer every year.

 

[Mr Burns]

Yeah, too true.
