Default problem with a825 13/18 bell on tornado

I am new to the forum and to redcat so bear with me
I bought a tornado BB for my christmas present and have been very happy.
I recently stripped out my gears and broke my clutch spring (big surprise)
replaced my clutch shoes with HPI 87028 and bell with a825 13/18
I also ordered the roller bearing and bushings to go with it
when I installed it I noticed there was no shoulder inside to keep the bell from sliding off and my pilot shaft appears to be too short
I have seen several times on this forum that this bell will work with the bushings and bearing but I cannot seem to figure it out.

I also bought the 06047 u-joint shafts from redcat and they do not fit
there appears to be another shoulder further in the knuckle that could possibly hold a smaller inner bearing

If anyone is using these PLEASE help me
I have been trying to contact redcat but my work schedule does not allow me to call during their bussiness hours and they havn't returned my e-mail
I love my tornado and I do not want to give up on it or redcat
thank you in advance
