    hpi savage parts interchangeable

    The X style towers can be modded to fit on the old style bulkheads. I have done it on one of my trucks because the newer towers seem a bit stronger and don't flex as much when using the LST shock mount kit.

    Mid tank question

    For the front mount, I used an engine brace to supports the steering posts and the tank. The rear is supported by a cut down modified old style savage upper a arm.

    Mid tank question

    It is a great mod and is night and day in difference on the steering. It is done to all of mine slightly different than FX but the same idea.
