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 am looking at running some of those avid +1 steering arms pieces. And wondering about the purple front springs. I have the stock setup right now and I tried the purple spring last week but it gave me way less steering than stock so I switched it back. I am wondering what would happen if I tried running that spring with the +1 steering arm plate pieces? The +1 will give more steering than stock correct? Can anyone compare stock setup to running the +1 pieces? My track really isn't super tight but just wondering. Here is a pic of my track and a link to a video. I could use a little
More steering but I don't want a ton more so that's why I was thinking maybe slap that purple spring back on and install the +1 Ackerman arm pieces. I was also going to install the schelle alum steering rack to stiffen it up a little
Oh... I was also going to buy the axle height pieces so I can run +3mm height instead of the stock +2mm. That would make the car easier to drive right?

Xr10 esc showed up. Looks pretty nice. Took the cover off my 180mm sensor wire to mount in groove. Used some e6000 to glue it in there. Pretty geeked about the new ride. Just tinkering. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi,
The B6d with stand up transmission will be easier to drive in low traction conditions.
Can always be converted to the laydown at a later date.

Won't this raise the ride height? I thought what I wanted was lower ride height?

Hey folks, can someone confirm (or debunk) that the B6D diff is the same as the B5M diff?
I have been hunting for a solid answer, but can't seem to find a solid yes or no. I am looking to rebuild an old B5M diff as a backup for my B6D, but do not want to do that if they are not the same or need to be shimmed.

This might be a bit of a PITA, but I would consider trying to move your ESC back and then positioning it slightly to the right (passenger side). Then mount the receiver - on its side - in front of the ESC. Depending on how it's balanced at that point, you might consider re-soldering the wires on the motor so that they sweep inward instead of outward.
If it's too tight of a fit to accomplish the above, an alternate strategy would be to simply reverse the ESC and receiver mounting positions, while still trying to mount the receiver on its side. This will put the ESC on the right while still being able to bring its weight close to the center line. This is what I ended up doing with my own, and it balanced the weight for me very well. I'm running the same ESC, and I actually dropped in a few grams of weight on the right side, too.
Before I made these changes, my car was very erratic coming off of jumps and when landing, and it had much more roll to one side over the other. IOW, it handled like crap

don't use shims on B5, use shims on B6? perhaps the shims would allow a steel b5 diff to be used?

can anyone tell me how much heavier the Sworkz s104 rear wing is compared to a std lexan wing, like the AE b6 kit version?? Looking for increased durability, but not a tank!
I know, don't crash.....LOL
