Just saw this, I suppose this is the right forum to post?

Wow! Can a Kinwald edition SC10 or new buggy be coming soon? A new buggy would look good beside my goldpan...

Looks like he went back to his old paint job too.

With the new losi 22 coming out maybee associated has something new in the works.

geez, never thought i would see that again. i wonder what the hell happened? if i remember right things weren't peachy when he left the first time.

So just like the Ipad, that new SC10 4x4 will be obsolete when they release the Kinwald edition in 6 months .

"Obsolete" is a pretty strong term. Especially in light of the fact that you are posting in a room full of people who run (and in some cases actually *race*) 20 year old rc cars.

If the SC10 4x4 will be obsolete in a couple months, what do you call an RC10 CE?

Besides, after all of the loot that AE invested in putting out the SC10 (and especially in light of the Losi Strike fiasco), there will not be very much to tweak on the 4x4 for a while. There may be exclusive anodized parts and a custom JC Concepts body for Kinwald afficionados, but those aren't the kinds of things that will make the present car obsolete. I mean, we are talking about "short bus" racing here, right?

Very interesting, hope the best for BK, there is a lot of history there. maybe the next RC10?

I thought he just went to Team Durango a couple of months ago? I remember because I made fun of the name.

[littleVETTE]

i love the statement in the associated press release: "...A wiser, more experienced Kinwald will bring his vast knowledge and development experience to the Team Associated stable. ..."

Just ran across these photos of his new (old) paint scheme:

Maybe a BK44?

The old-school livery looks pretty low-viz ... somehow it looked more dynamic on the original championship-winning car and subsequently with fluorescent paint on his Losi, X-factory, and Durango rides.
