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.

Guys I have a quick question, putting a light sway bar on the rear end would help with traction rolling through a fast high speed sweeper? I am basically running the b6d kit setup minus 35wt front and grey spring. Shocks all the way out on the arms. 17.5 motor, the track has a lot of bite. I also am running 2mm under the rear ballstud instead of 3 stock. Just need some advice thanks

how big of a difference was there from the B5m to the B6d ? I'm looking to get the SC5m and was wondering if I should wait for a new truck or if it's going to be that big of a difference.
Thanks, Cory

The more important question would be when the next generation of truck comes out. They haven't even hinted at updating the current platform. There's no right answer, just how much you want to drive short course vs. how long you want to wait and see.
The other answer referring to the difference between the b5m and b6. There's quite a big difference, but the average racer isn't seeing drastic changes in lap times. But individual results vary.

alright today or tomorrow I am planning to get my B6 sorted for our next carpet race. I got in my yokomo yatabe springs that others recommended. When you go to these springs over say what the carpet standard is (purple fronts however), do you go up or down in oil weight at all?

We have a B6 rear axle set coming in 2nd or 3rd week Feb, it will fit with Schelle or Associated aluminum hubs and won't change the car width. For now, you can get BMI inserts to use kit axles, email [email protected], he takes orders via email.

have a look at the manual and see if the combination of toe/antisquat is what you need. if it is then theres no point in getting the d block. the d block just allows settings outside of whats available on the stock d block.
