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.

First race this week-end on a brand new track (for me) and my brand new B6 with box setup.
Grab the A main so yes, the car is pretty safe and fast.
but got a little too much steering at low speed and not enough front grip at full speed
do you get a starting point for setup that ?
Oh, it was a carpet track, I run new minipin/cut-stagger combo without traction compound

More steering
Can anyone consolidate some tips for more steering deviating from kit setup. Have a b6d laydown with shocks in front. Looking for tighter 180's and less push. Any tips much appreciated.

What Mah and c rating battery are y'all running?.. I have a B6d showing up and this will be my first 1:10th buggy. I'm shopping around for shorties and some tires, so any help y'all have there is appreciated...

SMC makes good batteries for a good price. I'm running their race shorty (4000 mah and 100C) http://www.smc-racing.net/index.php?...product_id=338
Unfortunately, they are on backorder right now.

Tires are going to be dependent on where you are running. Check with the locals and see what is working on your track. Where i am at i can throw on some proline electrons super soft and they work, but that may not work at your track. Avoid the 2.4 tires no matter what you choose though. They are more difficult to mount and seem to be on the verge of being discontinued all together.

it depends on if your racing stock or mod. With the prices being so reasonable now there are a lot of choices. a 3800 and up battery will work in stock or mod with no run time issues. On any quality battery 100C is pretty much the standard now. I have some fantom batteries and orion batteries. the fantoms are 3800 and the orion's are 3900. They are the thin batteries which i really like and are about 50 grams lighter than a full thickness battery. I have had the best luck with orion and fantom. There are some batteries out there that are 10-15 dollars cheaper but from my experience you get a longer life pack when you spend a little more. Orion and Fantom packs will cost around $50-60. I have seen more problems with the cheap batteries than they are worth.

So the tires are 2.2 right?
Thanks for the help with the new questions here...

Have you noticed any change on the steering? Its kinda hard to describe what I mean but the B6D feels so damn smooth.

Have you tried the Schelle type 1? That is the only thing that is not kit on my setup except Yokomo green rear. Drove a buggy setup kit with same spring set and steering was a lot more aggressive. I've got 2mm on the steering rack for ackerman, tried 1mm and that was worse. I'll have to look again to see if anything is upside down. Bought it used. kickup plate is 25mm. caster hubs +5 as shown in kit (looking from rear to front hole is on top sloping downward to the front of the spindle).

Yes 2.2 tires and wheels. I have not used the Trinity battery so I can't really say. I have used SMC and every one has puffed or came puffed so i went with a little higher quality pack and have never had a issue. I think the Trinity has 5mm plugs so if you mix and match battery brands make sure they all have the same size bullet connectors (if your using bullets).
