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.

How do we achieve a +1mm front axle height in this kit? The kit setup says "0" while most other setups say +1. My B6D came with two inserts, 3mm on top of the C hub and 1mm on bottom. Am I missing something?

So ive decided to run either a shorty pack or brick pack in my B6D.
Its still staying as a latemodel thou, as that's why I bought it to run it in that dirt oval class.

The 0 is actually .5mm thick so its a little confusing. You basically have a total combination between the top and bottom of 3mm

saw this on a new 67mm CVA bone

anyone know what they mean by (alternate axles req'd) ?
do these use a different out drive axle?

A few quick questions for the group. I'm running a b6d at my "local" (2 hour drive) indoor track - high bite clay. The track is rather small but flows well. I have to be out that way for work later this week and plan on stopping by for a few hours of practice and to test some tuning options. The car is setup pretty close to stock set up with a laydown transmission with the shocks in the rear of the tower. I plan on testing the shocks in the front of the tower. The issues I am having is it wants to break loose around half throttle when turning but the higher speed turns it holds up pretty well. Also if I apply the brakes it comes around fast. Some ideas I plan on testing are:
Move rear shocks in front of tower
Continue to adjust esc brake strength (already set pretty low)
Add travel limiters in rear shocks hoping to give more control when using brakes
Install front wing for additional front bite - even though it is pretty good
Testing pivot positions within the C&D blocks - Currently set middle / middle on both blocks.
Overall I am pleased with the handling but just want to make it better. Having the ability to brake would help as well as being able to accelerate harder in a turn. Also what are the advantages to wider / narrow and higher / lower pivot points?

Definitely give them a try and see for yourself.

I ran the new Schelle Racing 65mm lightweight dog bones tonight. I got them from Kurt and I am sure glad I ran them. I ran them with the stock b6 diff and stock axles. The 65 are for stock cars and the 67mm are for the BMI inserts. The car was locked in , in the rear and worked great for the main. That was the only change for OCRC tonight and I improved from a fast lap of 22.3 to a 21.8.
Definitely give them a try and see for yourself.
