Might be old news...

I was messing around in the garage last night with the X axles. I found that the Savage stub axles can be swapped into the X axles without fuss.

I searched for discussion on this, didn't find anything.

Thought it might be of use to someone without access to XTM parts and was looking to run 14mm wheel hexes.

I've seen that on the x-forum, good stuff! I think read the stub adapters at HobbyPeople are actually just Savage stubs. Link to HobbyPeople (http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/146110.asp)

I will always give myself secret credit for the one that discovered this tip. I had the first Savage in Colorado. I remember getting an XFactor soon after and noticing that the stub axles looked interchangeable. Sure enough.....I accidentally stumbled on this.

Yup, I didn't want to spend the money and wait on the XTM parts so I figured I'd pillage the Savage and give it a shot. Couldn't find anything on here that actually said they were interchangeable...hence the thread title.

I figured something like this would be a common question for the X crowd kinda like "what's a GD-600?" is for the TXT crowd.

I guess since I just got the X axles this past week I'm a lil' behind the times on them. :?

But now that I can run decent wheels and tires I guess I'll have to figure out what to do with the axles. :lol:

I think 2 Scorpions are enough.
