Welcome to the B6 Wiki!
Quick links to all the sections on the first page! Frequently asked questions - the most common questions you may have answered here! Aftermarket Parts - parts for the B6 and B6D Tech Tutorials- tuning guides, ball diff and shock building videos and tutorials How to's and build-specific posts Team Associated Laydown transmission conversion for B6D: Laydown conversion Instruction Manuals: B6: B6 Manual and setup sheets B6D: B6D Manual and setup sheets How to Sand and Seal carbon fiber: Sanding and sealing carbon fiber Sanding and sealing carbon fiber 2 Sanding and sealing carbon fiber 3 Sanding and sealing carbon fiber 4 Charts for Quick reference:         1) put inner bearing in hub 2) slide large shim over axle all the way up to the back of the axle 3) slide axle/bone into hub carrier 4) slide small shim onto axle through hub carrier 5) push outter bearing into hub carrier using that i'm able to put my normal male silverback gorilla wheel nut tightening job and there's no binding. in the pictures that come with the shims (the pic socket posted) it seems like they want you to slide both shims onto the axle before sliding the axle into the hub carrier and like i said, that doesn't work.  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.

Have a buggy on the way and may be stuck with the gear diff for a lil while.

I feel like it's binding when not bolted in still.
Didn't mean to open a can of worms with the bolt side. Just wanted to state what I did and if see if it mattered.
Anyway. I'm not sure what to do.. hmmmm maybe the diff is built wrong.. I'm a little lost right now. Mig by try to rebuild it and see what happens

They give an idea on when they will have the front gullwing and the tall rear towers?
For you guys doing carpet or other high traction but have say "rumble" sections on the track, have you tried the tall rear towers and any comment on how well they work?
I have both tower types here buggy already setup with tall rears so could just give those a go on Nov 5th but would be curious if those who are in the know have ideas. One part of the track can be "rough" for carpet and when last running my DEX210F which is oriented more to carpet, I remember getting kicked around a bit more than I liked.

Since the down travel is the same only difference is the oil volume it should help more than hurt Imo. I do recommend running them in front of the tower though. If I go that way I think I will go with the schelle tower since it uses the short eyelets.

diff nut side topic....
It doesnt matter one bit what side the diffs go in the tranny. racer1812 alrdy told you guys like a million times this. Its a preference unless your building a 4wd wheeler or something like that.
if you THink it goes in a certain way. Fine, your right. Ill put it in the other way and guess what...its fine too.

Results 10/6 at highside.
Still couldn't compete with the Custom Works Rockets I raced against. But this B6D was really lightweight compared to my durango dex210 and B4.1.

My pit area yesterday. I brought my blue aluminum car stand to sit my B6D on.

B5,B5M, & B4.2 manual says which side to put it on. I am pretty sure they were designed to be places on a specific side, too bad there's no AE design team support on here. I am sure every other AE manual I have seen also says which side it should be on. But neither here nor there... I haven't decided to go rogue and test out what would happen if I was a rebel and put it on the other side...

I wonder if the diff nut should be replaced for those who feel it loosens on them and think it is because of on a certain side and the plastic material that is threaded is not acting like the lock part of the nut.
