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.

The Kyosho about 2 years ago fell off hard here in AZ. They had a few sponsored drivers not do well by them, and no one has had a Kyo deal since. I know a guy who stuck by his for awhile and made it work, but I have not personally driven or owned one.
Doesn't mean I wouldn't buy a RB6.6 tomorrow! With my ADD when it comes to chassis, it wouldn't surprise anyone.
The internet racer in me thinks it looks cool, and I know Kyo quality is top notch. The only thing I worry about the Kyo is parts cost and availability. Of course, this is after I just spent $100 on Kyo springs.

Kyosho springs are no joke. I have them too and AE and yokomo and Dingo springs.

i had a xray. the instructions and build are awesome, they set the bar high there. ae is not far behind. my b6 build was flawless. on the track the b6 is hands down easier to drive. the parts cost a lot less and are about equal in quality in my opinion. the xray with work i am sure can be much better than i had it. the ae just works the second you throw it on the track.

The spurs last alright, but you have to be critical of your gear mesh.
