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.

Our local track owner got a B6 yesterday. AE did some testing here so they sent him a kit for letting them use the track. Pretty cool.

The rear shocks being the same as the truck fronts has been talked about since the car was announced, not sure how you missed it. But at least you have an option to still use the longer ones.

Like I said, not a big deal, but it wasn't listed in any literature from Associated that I've seen. I don't eat, sleep, and breathe RC so it's possible that I just missed it. Just wanted to give a heads up to those that missed it as well.

So I tried to order a b6d from LA Partshouse today with the 10% off for the 4th and it says sold out. Called and guess they are sold out of what they may get on the 11th so they will not take any more preorders.
That's crap as I was looking forward to my 10% off.

hello every one. First post on rc tech and i like what i see here. I race at trcr in tacoma with my b5m light,. t5m, and in a few weeks a b6d. I looked at the b6 and the b6d manual . Both are high quality cars and the build should go well but im sure a few duh questions i will ask. Btw, my last rc racing was back in 1987 so go easy.

You can get better than that at Tower Hobbies with their coupon codes. You can pre-order all you want and they will have stock for sure for anyone after the pre-order list as they get so many.

I'm still over a week away from getting my kit and I already have a wish list a mile long on several different sites. "Sorry Honey, we can go to Disney world some other time, and the boy will do fine in public school.."

Welcome back into the hobby! If you stick around in here long enough, you'll see a bunch of "duh" questions and might not need to ask them yourself. My advice is to read the thread from the beginning -a little long, but worth it- and you may answer some of your own questions that way. Use the first page and wiki, they have tons of information in them. If your answers aren't found there, or if you're still unsure of something, ask away and most of us will be glad to try and help.
