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.

This does not work out well if you don't have a steady hand. In my opinion the best way is to cut carefully and then finish the job up with a Dremel. I'm not particularly steady with a blade, knife, or scissors. I just trim as well as I can and then I put a sanding barrel on my Dremel and clean it up after I'm done trimming. My stuff looks pretty good.

tires are going to be the most important thing. your going to want jconcepts dirt webs, or space bars gold compound. are you running a stand up or laydown transmission? traction at this track can be tough sometimes. they tend to over wet the track sometimes, making it really loose.

I'm getting some light grain sand paper to clean up the lines. I guess I should look into a Dremmel and make it easier.

I have friends who can just make the cuts perfectly......I just don't have the touch. Its good to have a Dremel around. You'll find that its good for a lot of things beyond RC. Even though the cordless one is super convenient I stick with an old fashioned corded one.
