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.

I have always wanted to get a 4 scale weight gauge but could never justify it for the little amount of on-road I run. Then along comes the B6 with a seemingly endless combination or tuning options which finally makes me pull the trigger on one just so I can keep some sort of baseline when making weight, shock location, electronics position changes.
The tune ability of the B6 is very impressive. I imagine it will only grow once the aftermarket gets up to full speed.

Let us know which system you ended up with.

There have been plenty of options (financially) for corner scales handling most of the 1/10th scale stuff. If you were running GT or SC then those options started to become a little more expensive when I last checked. All of these were 4 independent scales so you had to do the math.
Let us know which system you ended up with.

It's first use will be on my B5m, I feel I have it balanced pretty well but have not verified. I can then use this for comparison when I set up my B6D to try and achieve similiar weight distribution.

If you have a drill press and a scale you can measure lbs./in. pretty easily.
I had a Dremel stand that I got cheap from a friend that does the same thing --

Neil Cragg has just TQ'D and won the 1/10th European championships with a 4-gear B6D.

Corner weight systems, spring rate measurement systems, set up stations, high traction carpet tracks...... Now all we need is tire warmers and we'll be all set!
I think it's a secret conspiracy that everyone wants to run on-road. It's ok if you want to buy a TC guys, it really is lol!

Okay guys, manual is a little fuzzy (on B6). Page 11 states there's a 72t spur included for stock motor use. So I used that one. But in the back of the manual it lists 69t spur, 31t pinion for 17.5 motors. 72t spurs are not listed anywhere in the gearing chart. I have a 69/31 set on order, but just curious what others are using?
If this has been asked an answered already, point me to the page please. There was 100 pages here before the buggy even got released! Thanks

You can do math to figure out a pinion/spur combo that gives close to the same ratio:
31 / 69 = 0.449
72 x 0.449 = 32.328
31/69 is really close to 32/72
31 / 69 = 0.449
72 x 0.449 = 32.328
31/69 is really close to 32/72
