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.

I picked up a 72/33 based on some of the pro setup sheets on Petit. I think the manual says 69/31 or something to that affect.

And the track lay out. But 69/31 is a good starting point.

Example - last track lay out, 69/32 worked great. New lay out had a tighter infield, 69/30 worked better. Same lay out, new gen motor 69/28 works great.

Good advice on gearing. Don't think gearing is one of those things that once you figure out you're done. There's a range, just like other adjustments.

well it's cheaper to strip your servo horn than your servo gears

I'm running 18/84 with a 4600kv. 84 is as big as a spur you can put on the B6D.
I tried 87 its too large.
Too large meaning it rubs on the chassis and you cant use the gear cover with a 87.
I think 87 is for Stadium Trucks and Short course trucks anyway.

I have no problem with an older model. Especially since i can get one for $80. Although, I have been having trouble finding a good comparison. between the 2.1 and 3.1. i just want to do my research to determine if it is worth getting the newer version.

Again to clarify i want to run my B6D stock and mod.

2.1 = plastic case and outboard switch, 3.1 = aluminum case and inboard switch

With the 510r out now there are a lot of 410r's for sale. It's a great speed control for stock or mod.

The nylon steering gear is plenty strong to strip a small buggy servo.

The solution would be add a saver like a 1/8 buggy but there is no package space and the low wheel loads from a light 1/10 buggy don't warrant it. If u smack it enough times your servo will be toast.. aluminum just a bit faster.
