Losi?:drool:

[ben]

Durango. They're loaded at the moment! :drool:

[rcdunk]

somewhere that is offering a boot load of cash if you read the x factory statement they could not compete (and imho dont need to) with the large ammount of money he was being offered
would think durango but have they and money left in the pot for team drivers a a guess they have minimum 4 major drivers probably more.
would be nice to see him go back to losi "kinwald edition 22 with blue ball ends" retro tastic lol:thumbsup:

During my recent trip to Arizona last week, I had the great pleasure to visit the amazing indoor facility known as Competition Hobbies. The place was just stunning and housed a large model shop, good sized hard packed dirt track and a carpeted circuit track. We rolled up a bit before lunch time for a bit of practice, before the regular Sunday club race. As always, Brian Kinwald was at the track (he pretty much lives there) and was running 2wd on that day. Lee had brought his 4wd and borrowed a 2wd for a bit more fun. Brian was running a highly modded X6, which had Durango bits on and used a X60 truck chassis. Around the track he was just awesome and Lee knew it would be a struggle to keep up, let alone try to beat him.

Come qualifying, Brian was pretty much perfect around the track, he really knew this place like the back of his hand. Lee unfortunately struggled with the borrowed car which I think had a 13.5 motor in it and some fandango speed to make it go a bit more like a modified. As it was just for fun, Lee just ran the car as it was… but his own 4wd was super fast and fortunately Lee did beat Brian’s 2wd TQ time, which was a feat in its own right. Brian went on to win the 2wd A final in great style (actually there was only an A final as the yanks like to run about 15 different classes at a club race). Watching Brian run in is manor really was something special.. a true legend looking like a champion.

The following day we were back at the track to run in a new engine on our 8th buggy. Brian was at the track again.. painting shells and prepping his car. We got to chat with him for a bit (Brian is quiet person and keeps himself to himself). He mentioned that he would be running for Durango fully and obviously the recent announcement reflects that. It’s going to be real interesting to see how Brian goes with the new Durango 2wd and I am guessing he will have it at the Cactus Classic later this month. I for one would enjoy seeing him finish 2nd….. behind Lee of course.

I'd like to see him back at Losi - still got a XXCR Kinwald :thumbsup:


As he's going Durango, maybe a return to the top? I hope so.

[Frecklychimp]

Losi without a doubt

Losi and Kinwald are like carrots and peas :lol:

[mattybucks]

Hollywood?

[Chequered Flag Racing]

Losi for me

New 4x4 to develop :thumbsup:

None of you read Jon's post then? :lol:

Interesting to see what the Durango car looks like but get him out of his local track to the Cactus and i think he'll be lucky to make the Main - Lee will OWN him :thumbsup:

[jimmy]

Kinwald is a legend tho! And he's on the rise back to his previous form so anything could happen :thumbsup:

With what he's been through I'd love to see him back up at the top.

Good luck to him with whatever chassis he goes with (I know it's looking like Durango).

With the worlds this year it'll be a cracking year!

[jimmy]

Definitely - I think he's got the raw skills needed and apparently he's putting in the track-time to get back.

[cmgreen]

just a thought, y would he go back to losi after they dumped him when he was ill. I would deffo say he's gone to durango, but Gill losi is at kyosho now, and kinwald loves kyosho shocks (apparently).

Good luck to him what ever he does!

[Chequered Flag Racing]

None of you read Jon's post then? :lol:



No :blush:,but I have now ;)

[schmacher]

yeah durango it is...but i wouldn't mind him going to schumacher though :thumbsup:

[isobarik]

I just have one wish and that he bring back hes zerogravity pinions love those still run them and buy them whenever i can.

mvh Isobarik

Just await announcements from TD unless kinwald wants a low profile approach.

nether the less, both brian and lee will get owned by tebo and the 2 ryan's.

[Garry]

Did they though? He just stopped all racing so that suggests he chose to stop whereas he could have just moved to a different team or run privately.

Bound to be Durango seeing as he's already been running their cars with great success. :confused:

[jimmy]

I reckon Losi! They have the money to out-bid anyone surely?

Have you read Jon Dell's post?

[jimmy]

Yeah, but it's just rumour and gossip right now..... right? :woot:
Losi for sure!

[mikeyscott]

We'll all just have to be patient then... What about Tamiya - maybe Jon and Lee were doing a deal :thumbsup:

Time will tell - roll on the worlds. You going Jimmy?

[jimmy]

Hmmmmmmmmm, never considered it but as Chazz mentioned money, there's no one as big as Tamiya is there! Maybe Jon's been putting up smoke screens! :thumbsup:

Still reckon it'll be Losi. I think the cactus race in a weeks time should give us the answer if not sooner as it's in BK's home state and probably his home track too.

[simoncrabb]

This thread is full of red herrings! The cactus has the answer.

He likes the number 22. Coincidence?

[fastinfastout]

it's wishful thinking he is going anywhere else.

Brian wouldnt drive for durango for less than a year and then go somewhere else.

He is staying put at durango.

[eb4_boy]

Going to AE!

Putting 2 and 2 together.....

He's a big name

He's not far off back where he was in terms of his driving

He can test and develop cars

He knows how to wheel bad cars

He's *just* come from a mid-motored 2WD...
