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 snuck a couple pics of an interesting battery strap at last nights club race on a B6D. Aluminum strap, thin, with easy adjustments compared to stock and some of the other aftermarkets out there. I think this is something VRP in Houston is working on and we'll see on the market soon, but didn't get a chance to talk to the racer at last nights club race since I had to leave early. If I see him at the next race I'll question about it.
This is the one from Exotek. It doesn't have the aluminum strap like the one in your pics. But, it's close in appreance.

anyone else have any issues with the exotek servo arm rubbing a litte.
the steering link seems to be rub onto the top plate a little bit
it also has the 2MM washer installed should i remove that?
also when the servo arms turn i seem to get a click noise coming out of the servo its brand new savox 1258tg i hear it mainly when the servo arm is pushed to the far right or far left never when its just moves sightly left or right i hear no noise. im assuming that isn't normal ?

With my Savox 1257-TG, it rubs the top plate a little bit, just grind it down a little --

BTW, try to get the steering linkage as straight across as possible with no angle up/down or forward/backward.
Else you get a bunch of mechanical steering expo immediately off-neutral. But it's like reverse expo -- it's extra-sensitive immediately off-neutral and then slows down as you go full lock. Not good at all.

from the looks of it mine is a bit forward thats why im thinking of removing the 2mm spacer from the servo horn

Let me save you a little headache. Leave the spacer behind the servo ears and just remove the 2mm spacer behind the ballstud. This is the proper way to fit a savox servo in the B6! You will have fitment problems if you don't have at least one spacer behind the ears. The servo screws without the spacer will hit the plastic posts before the holes for the hold down screws line up. Unless you want to source shorter screws.

I am using the Losi servo arm with a Savox with no fitment or rubbing with perfect geometry and the kit setup. Sounds like issues when using the AE Aluminum servo arm.
