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.

you increase you chance of breaking a stud off in the aluminum hub or camber block. The plastic hubs are fine. If you go aluminum, I would get the schelle ones. They have a replaceable top piece. But... when I ran the schelle hubs on my b5m, they freed up the rear and added steering to the car. If you are fine with that, then go for it. I think they are due out at the end of this month.
I've never been a fan of the feel of alloy hubs, nor the added weight.

Judging by the way that thing looks and your description of running the laydown at SCVRC...I would say you're trying to do too much too quick. The track dries out and is very sensitive to moisture...if it dries out it can be a handful with the standup car.

For the record, my brother drove the car and damaged the rear hubs. The damaged hub wouldn't have happened on a practice day only if I was the only person driving it.

No. I mean handful with the standup car...meaning the laydown is going to be an even bigger handful. I've been to that track and when it dries out and you still try to run the "preferred" tire you better hold on, or wait for the water. The track doesn't have a large window of consistency.

Tech Rookie
I had the same problem and now wondering if I did the wrong thing: I left the horn off 90* and lengthened the steering link to 3mm (making sure to center the washers on the link) and left trim at 0... I have a lower end futaba and dont have "sub-trim". My reasoning is that I will still have the same throw in both directions without having to alter EPA's asymmetrically. The toe was dead 0* with the steering turnbuckles at kit length... Anyone care to comment on my strategy?
EDIT: YES, I left the horn leaning towards "passenger side" to accommodate the longer steering link length.

Hi Guys, I know I am new here, but would anybody mind taking the time to answer my question? I just want to make sure my reasoning is sound. (or not)
Thanks in advance!
