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 want to get a car for dirt and commercial carpet. considering getting a 6d then converting to b6. What is needed ? 2 cars is not a option. I figured arms and towers and diff housing and parts.

Front arms and tower are not mandatory, the real difference is ball diff and standup tranny

I have a General tranny question.3gear trans, I plan on racing both 17.5t class and mod class, probably a 7.5t for example purposes. If i leave the 69 spur for the 17.5 setting per manual gear chart, can i just use a lower pinion for the 7.5 and if so, is there a difference is how the car will feel with the smaller pinion & spur for the mod?? formula i used was tranny 2.60x69(spur) divided by pinion(18) i came up with 9.96 any insight would be greatly appreciated..

Normal 7.5 gearing (for me) is ROUGHLY..81/20 = 4.05
To get that same ratio with a 69t spur you would have to run a 17t pinion..
69/17 = 4.058

If it fits, run it. If you're mortal like the rest of us, you'll never feel the difference between 78/21 and 69/18 on the track.
But it will move the motor farther back and maybe you'll notice that in terms of handling.

Shock towers breaking: to reiterate, near razor sharp edges cut carpet, dig into dirt and clay and will snap when your buggy comes to a dead stop. I have a horizontal crack in my tower from just such a crash.
Solution: Mildly take down the sharp edges with emery cloth, cover with a Lexan shock tower cover or shock tower protectors, use wide washers and/or countersunk washers for strain relief on the shock mounting hole. You can seal with CA if you like, but not needed once the edges are smooth.

I agree. Sealing the edges on todays CF is basically cosmetic..But for the love of God people that crap is sharp! I sand ALL the edges on all of my CF parts, not just the outside edges. I do all the internal holes/cutouts. I just makes handling the car easier, you don't feel like you're picking up a knife by the blade...so to speak
