Hi, I was also worried about the Tekno RX plate blocking the optional Traxxas rear brake so I started working on a rear rx tray. I cut a small piece of CF and cut some spacers out of 6mm tube. I then used long screws to bolt it down to the rear shock mount. Worked great, but it blocked access to the rear shocks (I like to adjust the oil/pistons a lot) and once I recieved the Tekno RX plate I found that it cleared the rear brake, so I removed my homemade tray. Also, if you run the wires on top, the wire will have no problem reaching the ESC mounted on the tranny. Tekno parts are top notch.
