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.

Here is the short list:
Q: Do the Dirt and Carpet cars have the same chassis?
A: Yes
Q: Which car does Kody plan to run at OCRC?
A: B6D with the optional parts to make it a laydown for tuning. Most cost effective
Q: What are the turnbuckles made out of?
A: Steel with a nickle finish
Q: Which shock shafts are in the shock?
A: V2 shafts. AE now has molded V2 pistons.
Q: Which rear shock bodies are on the car?
A: 27.5mm
Q: Which parts are the same as the B5M?
A: Diff, not the outdrives. Current outdrives "should" work but need shimming. Front shocks. Ball studs. Maybe more small things.
Q: Will the b5m body fit?
A: Poorly.
Q: Cant the shock be mounted on the front are the rear tower on the Dirt configuration?
A: No
Q: Will the +4mm rear C mount work?
A: No, the inserts and C/D are new. The C/D can use the same inserts now to achieve many tuning options. Without changing the C mount.
Q: When will the B7 be out?
A: In the future.
Q: Will ae be making conversion kits for go back and forth between configurations?
A: Not at this time.
Q: Eta on the manual
A: Closer to shipping dates.
Q: Is the front bulkhead/hinge brace new?
A: yes. cant be used on B6.
Q: Will there be an RTR B6 any time soon?
A: No
Q: Why make a B6 2wd before the new 4wd Car?
A: 2wd cars are able to be designed faster.
Q: T6D coming?
A: One project at a time.
Q: When will the B6 Factory Team be out?
A: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (my response)
A: Kody's Reponse "this kit is already very well equipped"
Q: Can the B5M FT front axle and hex be used on the b6?
A: No, the front axle and hex are different. The rear axle/CVA is the same.

You can see the grub screws pretty good here. I kinda have to agree though that they could have used some shielding. But I guess we'll see if it's an issue.
