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 attend my race meetings by motorcycle so unable to charge at the track (alot of our racing is in a field so require 12v battery for charging) so I pre-charge 3x batteries to get me through the day. Shorty's dont have the capacity to last two races.
Is a square pack not the same size as saddles?

I usually use only 1100mah (max) from my 4300mah shorty lipo during our 6 minute quals or mains (indoor track, 8.5T motor), including warmup laps.
It's no problem going two 6 minutes runs/warmups.
Though I typically don't do it, three of those would put me at 3300mah, which is just a hair under the 80% mark (3440mah) of 4300mah but it 'should' be ok.
I don't run stock, and the voltage deltas really aren't an issue. I am only concerned about over-discharge.
What type of mah consumption is everyone else getting?

Are you running stock?

The biggest shorty I've found is 5,000mAh, which maybe do-able, but possibly wouldn't leave much head room. My current saddles are 6,000mAh and after two runs it leaves me at the perfect storage charge so very easy all round.
My current thinking is to buy a B6D plus laydown, winter is indoors which have elec hookups so I can charge, then probably go back to the stand up when its outdoors in the summer.

Protek makes a "5400mah" shorty now --

Stated capacities aren't real accurate, but this might help you a bit.

I have a 8.5t motor, not much boost or turbo (depends on the track etc) but I previously had some 4800mAh saddles and it was tight running 2x 5 minute heats, the power drop off isnt linear, once it gets down just below storage charge, I found they dropped off very quickly. I had to limit the laps before the start of the heat just to be safe and obviously I had to be careful of the amount of boost etc.

You won't need all the wonky charging leads that saddles need either.
This certainly isn't the most fiscally sound advice, but it's how my brain justifies things RC related.

Just out of curiosity how long did it take each of you to fully assembly the couple kit including motor, esc, servo, receiver, etc. Also for reference was this your first time putting a kit together or did you have experience from in the past builds. Just trying to get an idea as a newbie how long it takes to assembly the entire buggy?
Im not new to RC cars just new to Buggy's. I have a couple of Traxxas Slash and have taken one completely apart to put a LCG chassis on and rebuild the transmission. thanks for all your help!

I must say, after watching these buggies race this past weekend I'm getting the itch to get back into things.
