Default Extended chassis problem...

I recently bought a Racer's Edge extended chassis. My problem is i cant find braces that will fit. The stock Tmaxx 3.3 braces are to short.

Please help

I can get pictures if you need to see whats going on.

tried a front skidplate in the rear? that's what I did to extend mine then made a plate for the top (it's a basher, so it doesn't have to be perfect) but this might be what they did

The holes the screws go through to bolt into the tranny dont match up with braces either so there must be braces out there that fit the chassis with out mods

If the stock chassis braces don't line up with the tranny mount holes in the chassis how will the tranny fit???

What i need is different chassis braces. The stock ones that came with the Tmaxx wont fit and i cant find my chassis i bought on the RacersEdge website.

I have the older Tmaxx does the new Tmaxx have longer braces that might be what it needs.

I realise you need longer braces...But if the tranny mounting holes in the stock braces do not line up with the tranny holes in the chassis, the tranny will not line up either. Does the tranny line up with the chassis holes?

The longer t maxx chassis & braces (4908/4907) is extended in the front 30mm and just slightly 3mm in the rear.

Yes the tranny lines up its just the braces. Ill bring it to my hobby store and see if they can fit the new Tmaxx braces on it.
