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.

People in my area are converting B5Ms to sprint cars to compete with Custom Works Sprints. Let me tell you they are having good luck with that.
I had an idea to convert a B6D to a latemodel. And I still wanted to use stick packs.
I was racing the B4.1 and getting killed so I thought it was my car because it was old.
I haven't raced this yet but I know it will be good. The latemodels ill be racing against are Custom Works Rockets and B5m converted latemodels.
My SC10 body mounts and mounting plastic brackets did fit this with a little modification. You have to dremel the brackets a little bit.
Rear body mount is screwed down to the Wing Mount and I Zip tied it just as a precaution measure.

Now if traction is good convert to laydown tranny and see if those custom works can keep up. Maybe slot the sides for a lengthwise full size battery.

I just ordered the B6D and I'm trying to find information on what upgrades to get.
what wings is everyone running? will any 1/10 scale wing fit?
I'm thinking about trying this one as I've heard the stock wings don't last.
also do you guys recommend the Ti-Nitride or chrome shock shafts?
so far the only things I have on a wish list is the longer rear tower and shock shafts, caster hat bushings, bulkhead shims, tapered pistons, brass c and d blocks but I'm not sure which ones yet
when doing the rear longer shock tower upgrade do i just use longer shock shafts or do i need the longer shock body too, seems obvious but I thought I saw setups with the longer tower/shafts with the stock shock bodies. This upgrade is for outdoor for the season remainder and then I'll switch back to stock rear shock setup for indoor.
thanks, can't wait to get this kit built

Any 1/10 wing will fit just have to trim it right. The proline TriFecta wing is twice a thick and works well. I would try the stock shocks first before upgrading. Only upgrade if necessary.

i will definitely try it stock first but I want to know the options available for set ups and how to apply them to simplify things down the road...thanks, trifecta wing in the cart!
so stock rear shafts and 31mm shock bodies, with the long option tower, ya this will be for offload setup with big jumps
