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 would start with shocks in the rear....make sure to get the brass C mount too, it is probably a good idea to pick up the heavier brass c mount as well. I know some guys were running the 12g version and still adding weight next to it. Hartson was running shocks in front over the weekend but....I doubt any of us are at that level.
We club race tomorrow night at LRH, and I have the rear shocks set up on the front of the arm currently. Really won't have much time to practice with it before racing starts. Just running 17.5 Blinky, wonder if I should change them to the back. Don't have any weights either except for battery weights (for now). Before paint I was around 1485 grams last night I think with a small shorty in there.

Shocks on the front of the rear arm means more rotation in the corners.

Is this because there is too much steering?

A lighter car will always need a lighter shock package. The b6 designs makes way more grip front and rear though!
The 1 outdoor track I ran has zero clay in it. It's very soft black dirt. Which means you need mechanical grip and a heavier car typically runs better... as well as a 4 gear tranny.
I'd say start with what you know but keep what ive said in mind and maybe try it!

Are the spacers for the b5m rear axle the same spacers for the b5m gear diff AND MIP b5m pucks diff in the b6?

Are these the same thing, material aside?

For those of us without machining equipment, does anyone offer cut idlers yet?
