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.

At my closest track I think people have pretty much switched over to the B6 or B6D.
I see a few B5M's but only a few. I was the first guy there with a B6D.
I'm getting close to racing this car for a year coming in November.
Havent got a win yet but I got 3rd place once. Ive been going to race on Sundays
and ill run the car again this Sunday. A lot of faster guys much better than me raced
2 weeks ago, and I placed 6th outa 7 cars. They threw us all together at the Amain.

Wanted to ask if anyone is running those 175rc polypro pinions that are alum hub with the poly gear section. I am running 17.5 on high bite carpet so figured it should work out just fine.

Astroturf Racing
My local track is switching over to astroturf and I am wondering how fast do the tires wear on an astroturf track???? Am I going to be replacing tires every week ?

In the UK using multiple sets of rear tyres per meeting is not uncommon to be competitive

I occasionally race on astro. The go to tyre is the Schumacher darts in yellow, after one meeting of six races there is minimal wear. I think they should last three meetings.

At worst your fronts will last 3-4 races and you will be replacing rears every race
day.
Yellow compound blocks will last about twice as long as MiniDarts Or Pins
Jconcepts and Prolines are stupid expensive for what they are.

I have a General tranny question.3gear trans, I plan on racing both 17.5t class and mod class, probably a 7.5t for example purposes. If i leave the 69 spur for the 17.5 setting per manual gear chart, can i just use a lower pinion for the 7.5 and if so, is there a difference is how the car will feel with the smaller pinion & spur for the mod?? formula i used was tranny 2.60x69(spur) divided by pinion(18) i came up with 9.96 any insight would be greatly appreciated..

First day out with the new b6. Going well and handles the bumpy astro 100x better than the KC.

Does anyone know if chassis tweak is useful in off-road? I made a few adjustments on the weight of the buggy back to legal weight & for the front to rear bias I wanted which is 38 62. I've always used calipers to set ride height & shock collar spring tension evenly. If no feedback will post info.
