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.

The B5m pucks work, but need the MIP #16085 shim kit.

Well I guess I'll start off by saying I have the b6d with laydown and the 22 3.0 laydown with the dirt tranny. I got the opportunity to test both cars yesterday. Now mind you first time ever running laydown. Both cars performed well. Both were fairly easy to drive compared to regular stand up 3 gear. The b6d I have not run in standard 3 gear. The 3.0 I have. We run on medium bite using super soft slicks. The losi felt more stable. The 6d felt a little more nimble. Lap times where nearly identical. Both had stock setups with just the laydown. My take is the losi so far seemed like I could push it harder. Where if I was smooth the b6d seemed better. One thing I hate about both are the battery straps. Just a pain to remove the battery if you run the wires over the strap. Just thought I would post my opinion so far

If using a lay down in B6d will you need to use the b6 body.

There is only one body. If you've already trimmed it for the stand up trans, it'd be wise to get a new one though, so that it won't be trimmed in the area that is supposed to protect the spur gear.

Im assuming you are talking about the transponder? That thing is 13 years old and the wires broke inside the case a long time ago. My soldering skills are just fine. Do i know you? Comments like that usually only come from friends.

Have they changed the size of the threads for the battery holder or could you use B5 ones on the battery hold down?
