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.

This is very odd, and now I have to ask a question, but first... I am missing at least one part from my kit. THE CHASSIS!
So now my question... do the bags jump and skip around?
I have bags 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, B8, 9, 11, 12, B14, 15, 17, 18, B19, 20, B22, 23, 24, "additional hardware, "tools", thrust and diff greases, body & wing, sticker kit, directions, VRC gift certificate...
This is a first for me... I have put a lot of kits together, from most all the different brands, and from time to time there is a missing part. Nobody is immune... but the chassis???

For those of you running the Brass C mount in the rear and looking for just a bit more weight. I'm using a bellcrank weight from Centro that with minimal shaving under the lay down trans...
Ends up putting just about 30g in the perfect spot

A friend gave me a pile of them a while back. These are the same size from AE. https://www.amainhobbies.com/team-as...sc89218/p16809

You added nothing. Please, then, explain the effect of changing the static weight distributions.
Few care what it IS (which is what you provided), most care what it DOES (which is what I was trying to explain).
Edit: What I'm getting at is while it is changing the weight distribution, it isn't weight between the wheelbases which is pretty straight forward. That is simple static weight distribution. In this case one of the configurations has weight being put BEHIND the axle.

In terms of static weight distribution it doesn't matter where and how masses are moved around in the car, it's the final corner weight figures that count. It does increase polar moment of inertia moving the shocks back though. So in proportion to the static weight distribution, 'weight transfer' (as you refer to it) under acceleration is likely reduced, at least transiently.

Indubitably.

Does AE have a metric screw kit that has various different size screws,not car specific? i.e just a spare screw kit to replace any stripped screws and can just be used randomly. Saves buying a pack with a bunch of same size screws.
(Not Ti or steel, just standard kit screws)
