The XX4 designed for superior handling and balance. All other things were secondary, little stuff like efficiency, cooling etc.

Mind you this was in the area that we ran 2000mah Nicd's and brushed motors

When Kinwald made his XXX4 mutant-thingy based on the single belt touringcar. Losi costumers were pretty much demanding it to be released. No one had any complaints on the handling of the car. But, unless you were a really smooth driver, it's efficiency needed more than the batteries and motors that were commercially available at the time.

But when brushless and lipo's came along people started dusting these things off again and the rest is history.

So this car was literally far ahead of its time
