Is step 3 of the manual incorrect? The head of the screw is away from the spur gear in this step. That puts the head on the left side. I have run the Associated RC10GT diff in all of my nitro oval cars. If the diff bolt is a traditional thread, as in the GT, then you are correct, and the manual is wrong.
I am taking this on its maiden voyage in two weeks, and I don't want to melt the stock stuff.
Anyone here is welcome to chime in.

just speaking from what we've experienced back here in the PI... although most of us switched to the alum diff halves already and just opted to run the head on the right side to be safe.
be warned though that the stock diff is crap... get the black TRF201 gears and the alum diff halves for your own peace of mind.
(local TAC race rules don't allow the SpecR gear diff)
