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.

Medium grip is such a relative term. For $30, I definitely think the laydown is worth trying. The car just feels so balanced and has so much corner speed. If you truly have medium grip. I like this car so much. Easy to work on, corner speed for days.

Is this because there is too much steering?
We club race tomorrow night at LRH, and I have the rear shocks set up on the front of the arm currently. Really won't have much time to practice with it before racing starts. Just running 17.5 Blinky, wonder if I should change them to the back. Don't have any weights either except for battery weights (for now). Before paint I was around 1485 grams last night I think with a small shorty in there.

Finished cutting out the body and adding stickers at the track.
Running laydown with 6.5 on clay. Needed to turn the timing down, cut back the end points on the radio and still had to be easy on the trigger.
The car corners amazing and I had plenty of grip on our track with Primes in the rear.
Now I just need some track time to get used to all that extra speed.

^that. A bunch of went laydown and are not looking back. The speed is too much fun and I don't feel it lacks anything. I have no desire to go back to stabd up.

Anyone know the weight difference between the MIP puck system (all aluminum kit, orange plastic pucks, al CVAs, etc) versus the stock steel stuff with pins? exact weight would be great, but I can't remember if it was 20-35grams lighter?
I'm trying to figure out which brass D mount I'll want - 12g or 25g.
