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've not run buggy for 6 years and then it was hit or miss. I'm now running a B6 with box stock shocks, springs and oil. I've updated to the brass bulkhead, Ti front axles, The B5 Schelle rear hubs and Lunsford turnbuckles. We run on ozite, indoor with foam tires. So far I'm having a blast on my return. I'm also setting up a second chassis to blue groove clay/dirt. Just want to say this kit is one awesome ride. Can't wait to get the second kit ready to run.

Im returning after a 3 year break of RC. Sold all my stuff when the B4.2 was the car to have for dirt and mid motor was starting to be a thing for clay. Raced a B6 last night that the owner of SDRC let me race, after un doing all his carpet stuff it was a pleasure to drive. Looking forward to getting a B6 soon, for now I have a nice B5m to drive. Cheers to you all!

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!

Well, the B6 is pretty good box- stock on carpet. However, carpet racing has been suspended until sometime in Oct, so I bought a set of white front and green rear springs tp go dirt racing. Hard packed clay, med-high grip. (THunder RC Raceway in Nashville).
Added a set of Electrons for tires. My question is: Do you think the 37.5 front oil iss too stiff? I was thinking trying 32.5, maybe 35w oil in front and leave the rears at 30w. Does that sound like a good starting point? I know B6D calls for 30-30 oil. But I thought the heavier front oil might help on-power steering?
Oh, I'm also going to add the 25 gram brass c block...

On rear hubs if you only change the hub inserts and no camber link or shock length from+3 to +2 what does this change? Is it adding more roll to rear?
