I had to replace the HPI 13t bevel pinion (Cen parts on the way) in the Savage X SS so while I had it open I put the dual XTM in it instead of the XL. I added a couple 5x10 bearings for spacers on the post next to the skidplate. I also ended up cutting away a lot of the second servo savers connecting arm (the one that connect to the servo) so they wouldn't catch on each other. The only other thing to consider if you select a setup to try this with is the length of arms that connects to the drag link. I didn't even think about it until I got this installed. Fortunatly the XTM arms were short enough and it fits with a little room to spare. It could of all been for nothing had they been a mm or two longer causing the drag link touch the bulkhead. Anyways only got to take it out and test if a for a little bit and it has made an improvement on my setup. I got another one off ebay yesterday for a dollar plus shipping. I am going to do it to the XL also. It has the heavier tires and hi torque servo installed on it so I am guessing the improvement it makes on it will be more noticable for me.

Here's some shots of it installed on a Savage X SS.
