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.

Got a race meet on the B6D, we run on loose dirt car has tons of rear grip with kit setup, had a fair bit of understeer so took the 2mm washer away on the ackerman and moved the battery foward. Got more steer with similar rear grip. Very easy to drive looking toward to racing it again.
Obligatory photos. Weight is 1530g as seen here.

Great looking paint. Where'd you get the front tower protector?

Idler shaft question
B5's is 91011
B6's is 91132
in the parts compatibility the 91011 does not show it works on the B6 but the 91132 shows it works on the B6's and B5's.
Is there any reason the 91011 won't work on the B6?
differences other than 1 is aluminum and the other is not?

No they are not same dimensions, the B6/B6D gearboxes are 2mm larger than the B5M ones. That means the top shaft is 2mm longer, idler gears are 2mm larger and diffs need to be shimed by 2mm. Every transmission part differs and i dont think you can use b5m parts on the B6 except the diffs (shimed with #91605).

This needs to be added to the wiki.

You can use 91132 which are the FT alum version and you get 2 per package. Fits all 5 and 6 series.
Or 91011 which is the stock shaft in the 5 series.
It's as simple as going to ae's web page and checking the part numbers. Click on the part and it'll tell you what all it fits. The 91132 fits in the 5's as well because I've used them many times!

I want to use the 91011 in the B6, Associated's website does not list the B6 as compatible...... but it should fit if dimensions are the same as the 91132?

. It will fit perfectly fine though.

I would start with shocks in the rear....make sure to get the brass C mount too, it is probably a good idea to pick up the heavier brass c mount as well. I know some guys were running the 12g version and still adding weight next to it. Hartson was running shocks in front over the weekend but....I doubt any of us are at that level.
