I've traditionally done the diff screw head on the left side (driver's side), but have since switched to the Right side (passenger side) regardless of transmission type (3 gear RM vs 3 gear MM and 4 gear MM). Kdub (Kurt Wenger, former AE designer) had this to say on the matter: I think I count as an authority on the matter. I always run my diff screw on the right side (when sitting "inside" the car). I take off the tire and pull the outer hinge pin to get to the adjustment screw.
The right rear is the way the AE manuals state (or used to state). It really shouldn't matter since you go around turns both left and right.

On the front wings...do they just mount to the front shock studs, or is there a mount that needs to be added? I'm trying to figure out if I really need a front wing or not.

I thought I'd post pics of my ride with wiring for you. I kept the blue anodized turnbuckles since my paint job has a lot of blue, however I did use my B5M blacked out shock accessories.
I started with the Kody Numedahl setup and made a couple tweaks to suit stock racing at OCRC a little more. I ran Expert Stock and qualified 2nd and finished 3rd in the A-main. A few more tweaks and it'll be even faster. Great car!
Build notes: Mostly titanium scews, a few stainless screws where I didn't have ti for the right size, titanium turnbuckles, full size shorty battery, standard stock body, AKA pinstripe front and Crosslink rears (clay), Exotek slipper eliminator, 32/69 gearing = 1503g total racing weight.

Nice setup. How's that motor at ocrc btw and gearing? Was thinking of trying one.

@JAE I love the 24K's. I have 3 now: 17.5t in my Losi 22 3.0 with Exotek laydown, 13.5t in my Losi 22-4 (new class that's starting to get big at OCRC, Very fun!)
For gearing I'm running 32/69. Long straightaway and I'm still able to pop up onto a step-up from taking a inside line with zero run-up to it.
My current setup differences from Kody's setup are:
1:Flipped the front axle height (fat spacer on the bottom) and went white spring in the rear. gives much more off power steering which is more useful for stock.
2: Rear-end is 2.5toe x 1 anti-squat. I don't feel that stock cars at OCRC need 3 degrees of rear toe since we aren't putting down as much power. This frees up the butt to follow the front around sweepers and corners a little more. Also happens to be the same as I was running on my Losi 22 3.0 with Exotek laydown that got me placed qualified 4th overall at the past OCRC stock nats.

Cool - I'll,try it thx! Do you gear up a tooth or two. Thought most were 69/30 there. Thx for the tip on rear toe

looks like we'll have to turn to the aftermarket to address this.
