the genXI pod (slider) is not a direct fit onto a WGT chassis. The spacing of the screw holes in the bottom of the slider side plates are different as compared to the older style side plates with plastic ride height inserts. Also, the dimension from the center pivot's screw to the axle's centerline is significantly shorter on the XTI's slider pod. On the bright side, CRC does offer a complete package of slider pod conversion parts for the WGT cars. It's however quite an expensive upgrade because it includes not only the fancy new side plates, but also new graphite pieces. So the slider conversion kit costs over $80. IMO, the fixed side plates are preferable anyway. But that's just my opinion. It's so quick and easy to swap out the ride height adjusters on the normal pod that spending $80+ just for the convenience of slightly easier ride height adjustment doesn't seem worth the cost. For those who must have the slider's convenience, CRC does offer the conversion. It may not be listed on the site yet, but if you call CRC, they will surely hook you up.
