Mind sharing any information about the place?

Oh right on i'm getting alot of push with my rear motor and full size lipo so I've been considering moving to mid motor. Also could someone clear me up on which side the diff adjustment screw should be on (direction of the diff)in the manual it appears they call for the screw to be adjusted from the left side of the car. But that goes against any other car, video, or forum I have seen. Anybody know which way it should sit.

Yes that wing will work too, is one of my favorite ones.
The only issue you may run into with the UG Vortex, PL Trifecta, LMR (not sure if it's one particular or all of them) is the thickness of those wings can make getting the body clips that hold the wing in place hard to get in and out. I know a couple guys that have started using screws to hold the wing on. Seems to work pretty good from what I have seen. They use the exotek or JC alum wing buttons to do it.

Quick question for you guys. I am converting my RB6 to mid-motor and i dont have any of the shims to put above or below the rear pivot. Running at OCRC (indoor, med/high bite clay)17.5 if that matters. Would a .5 above and below the pivot be good?
Thanks!

Yeah that would work it doesn't matter which side you put it on as long as it equals 1mm of shim I believe. And it has different effects on each side

So that would be the left side looking from the rear of the car. Which is strange to everything I've seen but I suppose I'll switch it back unless anyone on here knows different? ?

Any advice on how I can prevent the battery from sliding back onto the motor? I've seen a few folks run this batter setup but have not figured out how they keep the battery off.

I have been running my battery this way for a few weeks now since I switched to mid motor. My battery sits right up against the motor. Haven't had any issues at all.

You could use the battery stop from the rt/sc6
