Charts for Quick reference:

















1) put inner bearing in hub
2) slide large shim over axle all the way up to the back of the axle
3) slide axle/bone into hub carrier
4) slide small shim onto axle through hub carrier
5) push outter bearing into hub carrier

using that i'm able to put my normal male silverback gorilla wheel nut tightening job and there's no binding. in the pictures that come with the shims (the pic socket posted) it seems like they want you to slide both shims onto the axle before sliding the axle into the hub carrier and like i said, that doesn't work.



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:

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.

They will work but you won't have axle height adjustability. The new B6 hubs from Schelle will have this feature.

Nope, thats not it either, Ive got plenty of free travel, more than the shock will allow

Which hole are you in? What "upgrades" have you put on the front end?

Scott R, has this plastic been exposed to near freezing temperatures or lower? What's the temp when you are racing?

hey guys, I must just be missing it but I am not following how the setting for the caster bushings are done relative to the setup sheets as there are two "lines" pointing to the axle height box.

is it basically the +3, +2, etc basically the top bushing?

Middle Hole, Its not breaking at a hole, its breaking at the thin area towards the shock tower
as far as "Upgrades" I run a brass bulkhead, Aluminum Steering, and Ti front axles, nothing out of the ordinary

I run indoors at ~70 degrees

hey guys I noticed something strange when making a change on the laydown tranny.

When I went to assemble the vehicle together again, noticed that the rear ball stud mount seems like its too short to reach the tranny right. There is about 1.5mm or so gap between it and the laydown tranny as show in step 8.

Any ideas? I also want to put some washers there but that doesn't seem right based on the manual?

using the aluminum rear D mount if that helps

Is the tranny fully bolted down? the raised portion on the bottom of the diff portion of the case has to fit down into the chassis pocket. make sure it's fully seated. Also, is the bumper installed between the D mount and the chassis?

Default 6 or 6d?

Hello, yes I know this is an old question, and has been covered before I am sure, picking up a kit and wondering if I should go with the laydown version b6? or standup b6d?,
out door track hard pack med. bite, mostly running 17.5 stock class, some indoor carpet possible... most likely outdoor

also is the schelle eliminator? a good route to go?

Probably best to go with the D and spend the $27 on the laydown as a tuning option.
