Just took a close look at mine again on the rear brace topic , the Hot Racing V4 Talion brace fits right over the HB . And they are keyed !

I don't have the orig package , but I think it's the 143 mm one , AON30CT01 with the 2 red anodized spacers ( which on the FT you do NOT use ) . Also , it looks like AON30C01 ( 165mm ) is NOT keyed .Good to know. Is this the right part?

No that appears to be the one for the V1 to current Kraton and the V1-V2 Talion.Good to know. Is this the right part?

Yes it is, if you go on Hot Racings website on the bottom it lists what cars it fits, the model numbers for the Talion bring up this.No that appears to be the one for the V1 to current Kraton and the V1-V2 Talion.
They absolutely do not have the keyed pegs on the EXB braces. Which bugs me! Why make an upgrade part that doesn’t fit properly? The rear brace will shear the bolt off very often. I run a long screw through them so I can get the bolt out from the top side. Learned this the hard way. Getting a bolt out of one of them broke off even is damn near impossible without damaging the aluminumThe only thing that stuck out with mine was f/r diffs a little low , and motor mesh to tight as you said . Also, I used HR aluminum chassis braces from my Talion , they DO have the keyed pegs that "lock" into the chassis , AFAIK , the red EXB ones do not ???? Maybe someone can verify ???
So the EXB braces are just pretty looking !!! Lol The HR are better as they DO have keys .They absolutely do not have the keyed pegs on the EXB braces. Which bugs me!

I need a few upgrades:
-CF sleeve over the T2T brace. What I always do. T2T's do bend, unsleeved. And cheaper than buying a BQ CF upgrade one. This is a budget rig for me. Like the price it was....
Got these.
Measure the stocker T2T brace exactly . (I remove the ends) Then cut the tube and sleeve over it. I place masking tape where I mark and cut the sleeving square and straight. Don't breath the dust, as CF dust is toxic to the lungs. I've used a fine cut hack saw or a dremel.... your choice. Measure twice, cut once. I usually cut a few mm longer, then sand down the edge the last few mm, to make it perfecly the same length as the alloy brace. Screw back on the Ends after. The T2T will not bend/ or bow anymore.
Enough to do 2 rigs. All 7 of my 6s rigs have them. (The Typhon doesn't have a T2T) I've used the spare scraps to make CF spacers, or whatever.
They used to bend before I did this mod. Many did this before solid rod Upgrade CF braces were around.

I like Gloss CF . But they also have a matte CF. Preference is yours.
You and me both budAwesome idea on the carbon fiber sleeve. So awesome that I stole it
It appears that the Talion braces fit??? But like you said not "Keyed to the Chassis". Tally doesn't have any keyed slots for F/R braces. I believe they never did?They absolutely do not have the keyed pegs on the EXB braces. Which bugs me! Why make an upgrade part that doesn’t fit properly?

The V4 Talion has " keys " in the chassis , these HR keyed braces were on my V4 RTR Talion , and are now ( LOL , were ) on my M2C Talion chassis . But " borrowed " them for my FT .It appears that the Talion braces fit??? But like you said not "Keyed to the Chassis". Tally doesn't have any keyed slots for F/R braces. I believe they never did?

I ended up ordering the 330 mm tubes as it was a little cheaper and only had to file/grind off 5 mm to get it to the right length. I didn't have a use for scraps so I decided to go this route to make trimming easier. The sleeve fits like a glove and I can see how it strengthens the whole brace.
Now I'm going to have to do this to all my other rigs.

Also put fiber washers under the screw of each body panel. They have enough give to conform and hopefully will spread out the stress to prevent tearing.

Yes , it already is !! Maybe gonna come out next like the Talion EXB , .....RTR ?I see the confusion here.
Notice that Arrm-rc.com doesn't list any EXB parts for the FT. Arrma is weird like this. So we have to base upgrades on the EXB Mojave option parts listing. And make assumptions?
Isn' the EXB Mojave discontinued?
Its purpose is to secure the fan wire.
I now see the fan wire in it.Its purpose is to secure the fan wire.
