Dash-2 Burning Sun, as seen in Hyper Dash! Yonkuro.

In Dash! Yonkuro, Tankuro received the Burning Sun from Mr. Sumeragi after the Dash Warriors was formed. The Burning Sun is heavier and tougher than the other initial Dash machines at that time.

Like the rest of the Dash machines, it is equipped with the special chassis made of amorphous carbon-graphite composite material and gears made of polytetrafluoroethylene. Tankuro's car has one unique feature: the hotswapping module-type gearbox, which allows him to changes the gear set of the car without removing the bodyshell first hand and also reduces gear changing time.

Later in the Mini 4WD tournament arc, in order to find out the secrets behind Momotaro's Crimson Glory's superior performance, Tankuro modified his Burning Sun into the FM machine, the Neo Burning Sun, but at the cost of losing the Horizon lineage (The rear-motor-layout) the Dash machines has.[1]

The Burning Sun was once again Tankuro's machine in Hyper Dash! Yonkuro, where he uses it on the street Mini 4WD races.[2] It was eventually replaced by the God Burning Sun.[3] What happened to the original Burning Sun is unknown.
