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.

servo
I'm sure you'll get tonnes of answers here to a question like that, but my 2c is Savox 1257TG. Amain had 20% off all servos toward the end of last year, so I got another one.
I don't think you need the additional torque of the 1258 in a 2WD buggy, so why not go faster and get the 1257. I do run a 1258 in my T5M, and would probably choose the 1258 for the B64D if (when) I get that at some point.

I also have Savox 1257 in my buggy. It has better speed numbers.
The 1258 has more torque- good for turning the larger tires on the T5M.

Here are some alternatives:

I haven't seen the slick diffz rings, but TKO ones are nice.

Diggity Designs Carbon Fibre Motor Plate
Diggity Designs has released its performance line 3mm carbon fibre motor plate with spur guard for the B6. Rounded spur guard protects your spur from rubbing. Machined from US sourced quasi layer carbon fibre material. Contrary to belief when carbon fibre material is manufactured with the proper processes it will dissipate heat better than aluminum and steel. It also has better thermal expansion than aluminum and steel meaning that it will not warp or change due to temperature changes. Please check the website for more details.

Tech Initiate
After five months with the b6, I finally managed to snap a shock tower (rear)/break something significant. For any of the folks that run at norcal hobbies, I snapped the rear tower while attempting the big double on the newest layout 
. Didn't clear that thing once today! Reedy M3 17.5, approx. 40 deg timing, 30/72 gearing.
Anyway, is it safe to say that it's basically a popularity contest between all the different CF shock towers? From what I've read, there doesn't seem to be a brand that has stuck out as the most durable. VRP towers look interesting, but I worry about bending or damaging other parts with how often I flip, lol. Leaning towards sticking with AE towers since they are the cheapest and are stocked at the lhs.

One thing I can see with this spacer/s is it move the bulkhead lower and forward from the chassis. Extending the wheelbase even if it's just a little bit. And it lifts the chassis further above the plane the lowest part of the bulkhead sits on.
