Picked this up off EBAY not knowing it was a Kinwald actually. It is pretty rough but with all the new graphite parts I just put on my regualr XX I certainly could create an almost new Kinwald between the two. Hmmmmmm? One thing of note, the rear graphite arms on the Kinwald are different than the rear graphite arms which I bought for the regular XX. Different hole patterns as shown.








Difference in arms:

Ebay is coughing up kinwalds this week aparently I just recieved mine a few days ago, also I didnt know it was till it arrived, most of the blue was taken off and put in a spares bag so it didnt show in pics . If we dont tell anyone maybe theres more shhhhh.

The arms on your last picture seems to be from a XXX, for sure it will fit perfectly the XX, but with an extra sway bar hole.

That makes sense, but they did not fit perfectly. It has two holes for the hub carrier, if you put the hub on the outside hole , the driveshafts are not long enough.

The inside hole works fine and is same width and cleared the stock wheels but the extrra sticking off for the 2nd hole would not clear the 5 star XX rims. A little dremel solved that. Just an FYI.

Haven't had a chance to take apart yet. Any difference actually in the shocks besides the gold shafts?

So, they are not only XXX arms, but XXX BK2 with the VLA.

About shocks, no worries, thay are exactly the same, fore sure, excepted the Golden shock shafts.
The blue rear springs of the Kinwald, was in fact a set of pink, painted in blue to complete the blue package.

I dont believe the xxKW came with threaded shock bodys as the xxx does?

it did not it had stock XX black shocks

Are these Kinwald turnbuckles lunsford titaniums? I just have to figure out now what to do with this sucker.

Yes they are lunsfords T.B's. If your looking for a new home I have an open spot on my lineup....... who doesnt like twins

I'll see what's left after I combine all my XX's and parts. I will probably take the kinwald parts off this one and transfer to my near perfect XX I just completed with graphite CR suspension.

I have to figure out which one will get the new graphite chassis from EBAY now that I learned it is the shorter "tuning" version.

I can't beleive someone cut up that blue Kinny motor plate!

they really are quite a hard car to find, congrats on getting one champ.

I agree-but good luck finding a blue motor plate that's intact...
