Welcome to the B6 Wiki!
Quick links to all the sections on the first page! Frequently asked questions - the most common questions you may have answered here! Aftermarket Parts - parts for the B6 and B6D Tech Tutorials- tuning guides, ball diff and shock building videos and tutorials How to's and build-specific posts Team Associated Laydown transmission conversion for B6D: Laydown conversion Instruction Manuals: B6: B6 Manual and setup sheets B6D: B6D Manual and setup sheets How to Sand and Seal carbon fiber: Sanding and sealing carbon fiber Sanding and sealing carbon fiber 2 Sanding and sealing carbon fiber 3 Sanding and sealing carbon fiber 4 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: 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.

AE said on fcetubes that they're packaging kits right now.

A few days ago it was announced team members would be getting their kits within two weeks. Lots of the kits in the snap chat pic are opened like they were checking for things or adding things like both gear boxes etc. I'm thinking this initial run is for team members around the country so they can build localized hype. Factory Team super hero drivers got their kits weeks ago. I was gathering these kits are for the larger group of "team" drivers. I'm sure the public will have kits available in early July.

That was the first production shipment of kits pictured. They are going out to customers and the rest of the team asap! FYI, several team guys will have to wait til the next shipment as AE is shipping the majority to distributors/ customers.
They're coming very soon! Should be a lot fun!!

I doubt it. Manuals go on website 2 weeks before customers get them!
The RC8B3 was going through this last June. Kits coming in and they build them exactly as the customer sees the manual to double check and open the bags of parts etc.
1 Week from now the first shipments get on the boat in Asia port after they say they are okay or insert the supplemental yellow sheets for something needing a tweak.
I have no doubt that like 500 to 1000 kits are sitting at the factory just waiting to be final packaged and sealed up. Then they produce them at a mad rate with the final go ahead.
