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.

I ran my B6 the last 3 days in stock buggy between our Thursday club race, Friday practice race, and Saturday series finale race on turf. Thursday sometime on a new kit I had part of a side gear fail in my gear diff and bent the pins. So all weekend I was constantly pulling mine back to work on it. I had the transmission out at least 8 times between straightening the pins to fluid changes the protector had plenty of turf dust on it and is still sticking great. The car on the other hand is on the bench with a broken shock shaft and bent diff pins again due to an esc brake failure locking up the rear end sending it violently into a cartwheel at the end of out 96' straight away.

Does anybody know if B6 front arms fit on a B5m lite? I tried searching but I think it's to common to find a answer.

I haven't tried it though; and if I could retro fit anything to the B5M lite, I'd take the body off the B5M, roll a B6 under it, and then put the body on.
In all seriousness, I'd not bother; just drill the third hole and call it good.

Left / Right adjusts toe-in; again in .5 or 1 degree increments.
Corners - combination of the above.

All the "D" references we could muster.

It's $27.... Rather inexpensive
I do definitely get what you're saying with the D on the D though

I think he's asking about the spacing of the wing mount holes. Like, for instance, would a one piece wing button fit both cars?
