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.

Got a race meet on the B6D, we run on loose dirt car has tons of rear grip with kit setup, had a fair bit of understeer so took the 2mm washer away on the ackerman and moved the battery foward. Got more steer with similar rear grip. Very easy to drive looking toward to racing it again.
Obligatory photos. Weight is 1530g as seen here.

Any comparison to a B5M or a B5R? What kind of car do you normally run? Pics of the track please

The b5r? Not even close. I've raced on some of the lowest grip dirt there is. Rear motor is a thing of the past. If you're not going faster with a mid car in those conditions you're not tuning correctly.
The thing that surprised me most is how good the b6 is right out of the box!

Did someone tried the 4 weight scale thing ?
I feel like the rear right is sightly heavier than rear left end. And seen Kinwald put some weight near the C mount too

Idler shaft question
B5's is 91011
B6's is 91132
in the parts compatibility the 91011 does not show it works on the B6 but the 91132 shows it works on the B6's and B5's.
Is there any reason the 91011 won't work on the B6?
differences other than 1 is aluminum and the other is not?

The B5M did a weird "pivot" type move in the corners. The B6/B6D doesn't do this, instead it flows through the corner. Is it faster? Slightly, yes. Is it easier to drive? YES.

I have. Yes. It's why you see the pro's ESC's on the far right side of the front, to help offset the motor weight.
