Javascript replace special characters

Let's say I want to replace this:

Test%20Test

into this:

Test\X20\Test

I know this sounds weird but I need for the string to look like that. And I can't get my head around this because of the last backlash. Is there any way with .replace() to achieve that? If I wanted just Test\X20Test I could easily do string.replace(/%/g, '\\X'); but I need the backlash after the hexadecimal code.

simple capture group would work. 

"Test%20Test".replace(/%([0-9A-F]{2})/ig, "\\X$1\\");
