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.

4 gear stand up
Just built the 4 gear stand up. Does it matter what side the ball diff hex bolt head faces?
In the manual for the standard 3 gear it mentions to have the ball diff hex bolt head same side as spur gear. In the sc5m manual which has the 4 gear it mentions the opposite. Ie ball hex bolt head opposite side to spur gear.
Thanks

I ALWAYS put the head on the side that has the slipper nut so I remember which side it's on...
No pinion or wheels /tires..

Thanks for the responses everyone. I guess our area is a little different and go through a bit more of those items. I have a feeling its more track challenge related than anything.

My current track is dirt hard packed high bite, medium traction, should I just build the car with the lay-down transmission from the get go? is it that better?

If you don't have the lay down yet.. build it as is... order the lay down and switch it out and see which one works better for you. Worse case you're out $25 but you'll know for sure that you chose the best setup for how you drive.

Honestly it depends on traction level. low-med...standup & medium to high...lay-down. To judge on purely how both transmissions handle...lay-down all day long. You can carry more corner speed, jumps flatter and just transitions side to side much better. I run the lay-down with the 24g weight.
