Charts for Quick reference:

1) put inner bearing in hub
2) slide large shim over axle all the way up to the back of the axle
3) slide axle/bone into hub carrier
4) slide small shim onto axle through hub carrier
5) push outter bearing into hub carrier

using that i'm able to put my normal male silverback gorilla wheel nut tightening job and there's no binding. in the pictures that come with the shims (the pic socket posted) it seems like they want you to slide both shims onto the axle before sliding the axle into the hub carrier and like i said, that doesn't work.

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:

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.

Unless you want to source shorter screws.

This post was right on time as I just purchased a 1258TG...do you remove the 2mm aluminum ball stud washer just for the Savox line of servos, or should it be taken off for all servos to get the servo 2mm forward?

I have heard this works great if the traction is really high since it takes away forward bite coming out of the turn on power.

I did it. And it made a little difference. I think you can feel it more if you are running in dirt. I have a b6 and run on clay high bite track.

The Kyosho front bulkhead comes with a square spaced that drops right in and is easier then 4 separate spacers. Also I have only been running the .5 and I like that but I haven't tried the 1mm yet. Just a heads up to make assembly easier
