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.

Ford, Chevy and car manufactures come out with cars every year with tons of options, smaller RC cars should be faster. RC cars are like shoes, wear them out, race the crap out of them and get a new one. I wish I saw upgrades like this every 6 months. Who wants to race the same car every week with same stuff. Why sit back and not make changes when you know you can make some bad ass changes and have a better car. I love new sh*{^|. 300 bucks for a new platform....seventh heaven. Gives us something new to retweak and dig into.

Mxer210,
I didn't get to see the vid.
But just from your post a bout Shorty Reedy Servo, I wont to say it is exciting times. I am building a AJ Laser 73" brushless, and ordered MKS Shorty Servos for the ailerons. 233 oz-in from a low profile servo
that is awesome.

When the B5 series came out everyone was stuck between a rear motor and a mid motor. The general thought from everyone was mid motor for carpet and high traction and rear for most all dirt tracks. Then it became Mid will work on most tracks better just a bit more tuning. Now its like deju vu with B6D and B6. Will history repeat itself and the laydown transmission go from specific track type to the norm. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

[QUOTE=Mxer210;14518975]Did anyone see the video Spencer posted on FB a couple days ago about him getting his B6 ready for the JConcepts Spring Indoor National (a clay track) and he said something about a Shorty Reedy Servo, anyone catch that? Any news on
Will be announced next week. Howart has had one for a while in his TC.... I have been all over it for my TC7... 100% Reedy power.
Maybe I'll win Spencer's heart over next week in Tacoma for the B6 dirt DEBUT and he will give me his...

Why does everybody think the Slow-komo is so great? Although I admit it depends on who's driving the car, there are no competitive guys with one around here....although the same can be said of XRay. I have an XB4 and XB2 and I like them. In fact, I'm excited about the B6 because it does indeed look similar to an XB2.
I've had both and I couldn't ever get the b5m to turn like a Yok and still generate enough rear grip.
Which is my point. If the B6 can turn and generate grip it'll dominate for the price point.

How does the rear axle height affect to the car?. What is better for what in terms of handling?

The factory lite was a version of the B5/B5M. The B5 was initially released in 2013.
A little short compared to the successful run if the B4 series, which was around for almost 10 years in different forms, but the B5 series was around longer than the B2 series was around.

My hope by buying this kit is to just run it with a 6.5 and be competitive without having to upgrade anything.
My b5m set up for stock racing has cost too much money to set up right and I think a yz2 would have been better initially.
The b6 on the other hand looks promising.
