I've been racing close to 10 years and I still don't know shit compared to these guys. True legends going toe to toe. Awesome race and great video. I love seeing where my passion comes from from all those years ago.

This is 1995 he would have been running the Prototype XXCR. It was released right after the 95 Worlds held at Ranch Pit Stop and Brian Kinwald won the world's with the XX CR. I was there with Greg H. Gabe Brian and the rest of the Losi, Trinity and Novak team that year. The crazy thing we won the world's that year with a PRODUCTION model XX CR, only hop ups, an ALUM top shaft and the light weight ALUM silver motor mount and graphite arms front and rear and graphite rear shock tower we even ran the stock stiffizell chassis, so of us was running the duel pad slipper option and some running hydra drive at the world's but all the Losi team was running the same car and all production models that's something that can't hardly ever be said most times the cars being ran at the world's and other elite level events back then and still to this day are nothing close to production models. IMHO the best designed 1/10 off roader ever made right there.

***** Every 2wd Win I have, I had a Hydra Drive on my modified buggy. I won the 1996 Expert NORRCA 2wd A1 & A3 and TQ with a B2 and a Losi Hydra Drive. I won the 1997 11th Annual Cactus Classic Championship 2wd Modified Buggy with the XX and a Hydra Drive. I placed 2nd in 1997 11th Annual Cactus Classic Championship 2wd Modified Truck with a Hydra Drive. I was on the 1997 IFMAR Worlds A-Main team which again, WE Won with exactly what he describes, a stock car with some graphite parts. I of course ran a Hydra Drive to get me through that washboards section. In 1998 with the XX-CR Worlds Edition at my last race with the Team Losi Factory Team I qualified 2nd by .002 of a second behind Matt Francis at the Florida Winter Championships. Again, I had a Losi Hydra Drive on my Buggy and Truck that year. In 2004 I TQ the Reedy Truck Race of Champions in 2wd Modified Stadium truck with a Team Losi XXX-T Gabe Boudreau truck with you guessed it, a Hydra Drive. My team mates finished first and 2nd in that main. I had gearbox trouble in A2 which allowed Shawn Blackwell to win the overall, and Nich Lasley to finish 2nd. in 2004 I TQ the Reedy Truck Race of Champions in 2wd 19T Stadium Truck with a XXX-T Gabe Boudreau Truck with again, a Hydra Drive. I pulled over on the last turn, and allowed my Team Mate Shawn Blackwell to win for the double up in Mod and 19T. He was racing for Jake-A-Fied Motors (My Motor/Engine Company). With all this talk of wet track racing, I think I'm going to ***classified***

Classic I am saving this vid. Grassroots two of the best pilots ever. I've been away from the track for awhile but watching a race like that is reeling me back in to the hobby of rc offroad. I understand from other comments that it won't ever be the same but I am curious to see how it is now. Thanks for the footage of Kinwald respecting Misami. Losi performed better if you ask me....👊🏽

Masami was always the Dragon; undeniable. But a Kinwald/Double-X combination was the Best from the West. He broke through that Associated blockade in spectacular fashion! And while I'm on my soapbox.....Kyle Reed deserved the win in '91.... Losi innovation owned 1990's 2wd buggy class. What a great time in RC!

People are funny. Anyone who thinks they could compete with these guys is crazy. People kissed kinwalds ass just hoping to score a motor or battery pack. They race with batteries you couldn’t buy back then. Reedy and the others hand picked the best cells for their matched packs they would pass to their drivers. When you sell the products and sponsor guys you’re going to make sure they win. My uncle owned a track in Southern California so I would on rare occasion get one of these motors handed down as a kid and they were amazing. But make no mistake, if you couldn’t drive the speed did nothing for you. I was proof of that

Which track did your uncle own? Was it SoCal Raceway in Huntington Beach? I visited SoCal once when I was in the states and met Kinwald there, he was really kind. There was a kid there too that was racing that had bought Kinwalds previous buggy and let me pit with him. I raced in Denmark where I am from. What a great hobby.

Shoot I'm sorry i meet 1997 when he won the world's at the ranch pit stop, this would have been the XX. The XX CR was like I said released after the 97 world's. So here it was the XX, the CR was almost the same car with some geometry changes and a few little tweaks to suspension but nothing major. The hydra drive was awesome back then on the XX and hooked up dang well on almost all tracks and was tee totally amazing on loomy sticky tracks with gobs of traction slipper clutch on some tracks was a joke to the hydra drive but on others the hydra drive accounted for to much extra rotating mass and a normal twin pad slipper was a better choice. But nothing left jumps like a XX with Hydra Drive back then. If you rebuilt them from time to time they wouldn't leak and was a awesome traction increaser in Mod class but added to much rotating mass period in Stock class and wasn't needed. 1997 Worlds Team for Losi, Trinity and Novak. G.H.
