RE: X SS DATE CHANGED!
I sure hope that HPI is taking the extra month to design and test a new X TVP design. The sick jumps that the K4.6 would propell the X SS to will really put alot of stresses on the TVPs when the X SS lands. Anyway, aside from redesigning the TVPs (I hope they do), I'm interested in seeing what other innovations (if any) the X SS will include.

RE: X SS DATE CHANGED!
It was the safest I could come up with. 
Back to the second topic, I wasn't aware of the Sav X TVP issue. I've been upgrading an original SS to X status over the last few months, and haven't used the new plates. How do they break?

The little X under the engine, though scoring relatively high in focus-group marketing-generated image feedback.., um, breaks if you breathe on it..

What PatrickB said. Those little "x"s under the engine mount plate will bend and buckle if you are not carful. Avoid landing on the lid (as a matter of fact, try to avoid tuning your Savage turtle at all). Also, take measures against bottoming on hard surfaces (asphalt and concrete) and once you begin to strip gears regularly even with proper mesh, chck to see if those little "x"s are out of shape.
