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 ran the heck out of it and its fine.. I've checked both towers.. Its more of a piece of mind for me too, but oh well. Buggy is awesome on the turf.

Looks like a castle 1410 four pole short course motor to me. That would explain the high amp draw. A more suitable motor will allow much better runtime. I would get something in the 6.5 to 7.5 range in two pole. With a motor like this a 5000 mah shorty will easily make run time and then some.

For the price, why not try it?

got my b6d in and it has the MIP system, my question is how should the hub bearings feel? Reason I ask is they feel really gritty so not sure if something needs to be loosened, etc.
Update: Found the issue, loosened the hexes and freed right up, clamped them back down and it was fine so may pressed to close to the hubs.

Need a little more info like what surface you are going to run on. B6 carpet and turf. B6D dirt and clay. No you do not have to have all the aluminum parts to run it in mod.

You will want to keep the weight forward because you will probably have too much traction and might have problems with traction rolling. I would go plus 3 in the rear and plus 2 in the front and run a lowered ride height like 18mm. Rear shocks on front of tower and arm with short eyelets. No to the brass c mount but the aluminum D is a nice upgrade over the stock plastic piece. Setup as close to the b6 standard setup as possible for carpet.

Good point not all carpet is the same in traction. All I was saying is the standard setup for the b6 might be a better starting setup for carpet. I would use the lighter of the two brass c mount first though. It all going to come down to how much traction you have.

thanks for the responses!
it is a mix of ozite and something else that feels like it has even more traction. we do run slicks in clay compound sauced as we are not allowed to use carpet style pin rears. However there is a guy who uses ifmar pins in reds with success.
Here is a vid of one of the races from earlier in the year, my vehicle the black and white one:
For an idea on traction level, running the durango DEX210F in its default carpet configuration (shock on rear of tower) the car was on fire with sauced worn proline mc "slicks" (worn down suburbs).
I plan to try a tire setup similar to what someone else was running (slick rears, shcumacher carpet tire up front ) and if that doesn't work go back to the other setup.
sport10: If you have any setup advise onyour DESC410V2 feel free to shoot me a pm on that I'll be running one of those too
