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.

Cool thanks. That could be what I am looking for. I may also give the whole 1.8 rear piston thing a look.

I realize the B5M & B6D are different cars but can anyone tell me why the B5m calls for limiters in frnt & rear shocks & the B6d only front??? CAn anyone dumb it down for me as to what the limiters really do, just limit travel or is there more to it?

It's mainly limiting droop which does a number of things. It produces less chassis roll which is better for higher grip. It increases traction as well on higher grip surfaces but doesn't jump and land as well. The geometry of the car has a lot to do with how much droop is ideal and there are many options with this car because of the longer rear shock tower and shock body variations as well as gull wing and flat front arm options

Hey all,
I'm running an ecopower slingshot 17.5 motor in my B6D with a 31 pinion and 69 spur. Everyone at the track looked at me like I had 8 heads. I showed them the manual recommends this gearing. Saturday was the first time I ran this buggy. Am I insane or are others just out there? I should note they were all running different motors too (modified).
I'll be running it again tonight to check motor temps.

A lot of people in my area have converted their B5m to a Sprint Car.
There might be one available for the B6D also. I'm stumped I don't know if I should build one of them or just buy a Custom Works outlaw 3. The Outlaw 3 kit is $440

Sprint
I raced sprint cars on a banked oval clay track for 2 years. I had a dd Custom Works. I personally never cared for the conversions. It's just ahead start out of the box. Although I have no experience with the newer Associated B5/B6 platforms on ovals. Try to find a Used one.
