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.

Why is Cav using the 6mm rear wheel hex on his EOS setup? Is the car too wide with the inner hinge pins installed in the outer position?

They work the same. You may need to space them out slightly for clearance. There was a guy on the fb page that cut the part of the stock bushing that the plastic slides over and slid on the schelle Delrin b5 style bushing....looked pretty good.

building my transmission and the shaft that holds the spur has a lot of end float (1.5-2mm)...have people been shimming this out?

Make sure you put the topshaft in correctly with both bearings. I have very little endplay on my b6.

So, what is the general consensus on lay down vs stand up vs stand up 4 gear on various grip levels? I run on a track that *can* get loose, but generally I would say is medium grip--black moist top soil that is packed like a clay track and generally behaves like clay to some degree, but it can get dry and dusty and slick at times.
Also, what's the noise I hear about different rear shock towers. I thought there was only one and I haven't been able to find any info on this.

As far as towers....ae offers a short tower (comes with the car / shorter rear shock bodies), they also offer a tall tower that uses the same rear shock bodies as the b5m. There are different eyelet lengths for the shocks....if you mount the shock on the back of the arm (std on standup trans) you use the long eyelets, if you mount them on the front of the arm (laydown car) you use the short eyelets....schelle offers an 'in-between' rear tower that uses short eyelets no matter which way you mount them.
The tall rear tower setup seems to be pretty popular so far. I could see the short tower/shocks more suited to higher bite carpet/Astro environments.

I would run 3 gear standup unless it's toward the higher bite end of the spectrum. The 4 gear is popular down under with low bite conditions.

Btw, for whom it may concern, the lay down trans conversion listed on page one has the wrong part number.

Have 2 race days on my used b6d Laydown. Trying to diagnose why it pushes more than others. Shocks in front kit settings kick up/caster is kit. Has 2mm shims on the steering arm as well. Only thing I have found is the servo does not have a 2mm shim on the servo horn and there is also no 1mm shim on the horizontal turnbuckle that connects them two. I am still getting full steering throw. Would the lack of shim on the servo horn or 1mm shim on the turnbuckle that connects to the horn have any effect even if I'm getting full throw? Thx much
