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.

For anyone running losi 22 3.0 rear hubs/axle and dogbones, what camber link setting and ball stud spacing?

Gearing
Hey all,
I'm running an ecopower slingshot 17.5 motor in my B6D with a 31 pinion and 69 spur. Everyone at the track looked at me like I had 8 heads. I showed them the manual recommends this gearing. Saturday was the first time I ran this buggy. Am I insane or are others just out there? I should note they were all running different motors too (modified).
I'll be running it again tonight to check motor temps.

With a 17.5 I am at 31-33/69 and with a 1S motor I am at 28-30/69. Each car is different for cooling also. I say you are pretty right on.

Gearing sounds close to me.

Just put the Yatabe reds on the front and the Yatabe greens on the rear. Man these springs are short! Are you guys going with longer spring cups or using the kit setup cups with these springs, the kit calls for 5mm offset cups in the front and 0mm cups in the rear. And just sitting the preload to touching the spring with no compression I get about a 15mm ride height. I did preload them to get me up to 17mm. I run on carpet with small to medium jumps, some flat landers and some have landing ramps...
