US Champion Schimmel departs Xray

Reigning ROAR 1:10 2WD Modified Buggy Champion Brennan Schimmel has announced that his short stint with Xray has ended.  One of a number of drivers left without a drive at the end of 2024 after Team Losi Racing cut its race team, the Virgina driver would end the 2024 season winning at the U.S. Carpet Offroad Championships with a borrowed car before being announced as part of Xray’s US Distributor RC America’s alongside new star signing Dakotah Phend, the pair going on to win both titles at the Dirt Nationals at at Hoosier RC Hobbyplex in May.  The 23-year-old announced the end of his run with Xray posting on his social media, ‘A year goes by fast.  2025 was filled with lifelong memories.  I came into this season with no real idea of what was ahead, and it turned into the best year I’ve had in Modified in the few years I’ve been running it.  Becoming a National Modified Champion, along with a few wins and countless podiums, made this season unforgettable. More importantly, my goal going into 2025 was to come out a better person—not just on the track, but off it as well—and I truly believe I did just that.  With that being said, my short time with XRAY has come to a close.  I want to thank Drew Ellis, Brian, John and the rest of RCAmerica/Xray.  Stay tuned for what’s ahead into 2026 and beyond!!’
