I think the XRay LCD conversion would be a lost cause unless if you switched the whole front suspension to XRay. Here are some pics...
My 009 showing the LCD and large hole caster block. Don't mind the tires...
XRay vs. Tamiya 416 caster block. Can't switch caster blocks either because XRay uses larger suspension pin for the caster block.
XRay ball end (6.8mm) vs. Tamiya ball end (5.8mm)
XRay LCD installed on 416 caster block and steering hub. Notice there is no room for the LCD to function.
