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.

can someone clarify the settings for the rear hub inserts plaese (91697).
ive been looking at some setups and they seem crazy low ride height with the stock rear springs but he rear hub insert says "+3" does that mean the +3 insert has the hole at the top of the insert or the bottom? the only way i seem to be able to get as low in the setup sheets is to have the hole at the bottom and thus lifting the axle height??
is the "+3" raising axle height compared to the arm(hole low) or lowering it(hole high)???

Just picked up a B6D. I haven't been racing in over 2 years. I have a question about the battery, is anybody running the full brick pack? In my B4.2 I generally preferred a full stick vs shorty. Just wondering which to get for the new gen car.
Thanks,

We are running on high bite clay. It's a new track that opened up, i haven't been there yet. The guys say we run 3 gear lay down and don't make many changes between our carpet and high bite clay local tracks. I got a 3800 Orion XS pack. It's smaller than I thought it would be and only 155 grams. I was thinking it would be too light to even make weight. Should I use it or get a full size shorty?

I run a 4600 shorty, the +25g brass front bulkhead and I still had to add 10 grams when I got weighed

I would suggest trying it both ways.

I run the protek lcg batteries, similar to the orion. I added the brass c mount, steel electronics plate, and the 36 gram reedy brass lipo plate. With all that and the lightweight drive train nonsense I weigh in at aboout 1510 with a lightweight body. It's a little light and I'll probably switch to the heavier battery brass plate. I like the light battery to add the weight to the bottom of the car. It's a matter of preference I guess but it feels really nice right now.

I run on high bite clay and set up my car to run at around 1505 with the smaller 2s packs, the car lost too much power at the end of a run to keep up with the iCharger 40 amp charging crowd. without changing anything else I just put a standard 2s shorty and the car feels amazing. The car is around 1550 right now and is super easy to drive.
I would suggest trying it both ways.

Anyone have issues with the lay down gearbox rubbing internally? My outdrive and idler gear are having an issue when I mate the halves of the transmission - if I hold the rear of the gearbox open a fingernails worth with the rest snug - no problems though.
I should mention this is the lay down kit in for the b6d (ball diff)
Any ideas? Thanks guys!
