RE: Radio plate problems
You should have a little adapter piece that screws to the front side of the tray for your steering servo. Missing hardware is a dealer issue. Everything should be included that you need.

It's really quite easy to make your own radio plate from a sheet of 3mm alloy plate, I made these for my Leopard and race truck.

RE: Radio plate problems
Well I've promised a guy from Moscow that I'd email him with all the dimentions etc when I get a chance so I'll so the same for you if you like. I't really is easy Aaron, all you need is a jigsaw, 2 G clamps, a file, drill & bits, M3 & M4 taps and a piece of 8mm alloy bar to make the legs. Let me know if I can help you out any more.
Mike
