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.

Those motor wires look odd to me. Could be just the picture.

Ive never messed with 3 hole pistons. Am i understanding it correct that 2x1.7 will have less high speed compression the 3x1.4. My car feels really good with 27.5 and 2x1.7 other than the chassis slaps a little. Would the 3x1.4 help this but still be fairly soft in the corners?

Took me a bit to figure it out. Had to change rx mode then turn radio off and back on to bind them. Then, had to reverse both throttle and steering. Other than that, it's all good. My only complaint is that with servo trim set 0, there's no way to put the servo horn on at 90 degrees. So my trim is always off by quite a bit. No big as long as I remember to set my endpoints properly.

Use your subtrim in the radio to center the servo. That will allow you to keep the full range of your trim tab.
It's not unusual for JR/Sanwa/Futaba to have different servo directions. Servo reversing has been standard practice for a LONG time.

Awesome! I believe that charger was called the Reflex? I had the model before that was red with a yellow heat sink. You had to adjust the charge rate with a screw driver. I couldn't afford a power supply so I would use a 12 volt car battery. I ran 1200 Sanyo SC's

Thanks for the tips on using the steering subtrim and setting the trim to 0. So many adjustments on radios these days....the 4PLS is my first 'real' radio since my old Tower Hobbies radio that came with my T3. Off to the Futaba thread.

EDIT: YES, I left the horn leaning towards "passenger side" to accommodate the longer steering link length.
