There's loads of theories about where Chris will be going... there's only really once choice for 2wd if he's going away from Losi, and I think you'll see him run something rather interesting in 4wd....
Last I heard Kinwald hadn't been very well so it's good to hear he's obviously still keen to carry on, and try something new!
I've just read the little post about Kinwald on 4wdrc, makes me laugh as i remember the Worlds in Finland 99 we bumped into him in the Hotel with all our racing gear, my Dad and I both said hello and all we got was a Grunt in return, i certainly didn't see his "willing to help all" and "friendly" attitude they talk about towards young racers
Maybe he's changed...
