Clockwise makes them longer. Counter clockwise makes them shorter... when looking at the link from the notched side (left side of the car).

Diff washer info provided in link I gave you. Check out the first post, everything you need to know about the diffs to include screws are covered.

Stanless steel is soft for screws. SS screws don't hold up as well as harden steel. Its a fact. Titanium is nearly as good as steel, but expensive and sometimes you don't get the quality titanium. i have had great results with Mugen titanium screws, but those are metric.
IMO the upper steering plate to have is made by King headz. The plastic one flexes and I have broke a few on 2.0 truck and pulled screws out on the Losi unit when used as Pro8 conversion.
This is the final one time fix:

Some good news on the Associated shock springs. I used the gray springs front and rear recommended by Cutter in this thread. I left truck sitting 6 days on tires with lipo and body on, so full weight. I cycled shocks a few times but mostly let it sit. I just spent 30 mutes cycling the shocks and scaling the truck again. Results are good with less than 1.mm of sag. That tells me the springs are not going to sag out. Only thing I don't like is the rear shock springs are lightly rubbing the shock body. I was able to turn the spring to a few different spots where it barely hits. Annoying, but they fit good and work. Its a direct fit and springs are longer providing optimum amount of adjustment in either direction to get perfect ride height.

We did a demo run at a 1/10th buggy indoor meeting a couple of weeks back with four of the trucks being the 3.0 and there has been a lot of interest in how well they ran on the carpet and the local dealer has them flying off the shelves. Hope we see a further pickup in the class.
