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.

Just as there are different types of carpet, there are different types of astro, too. Track conditions may vary a lot due to changes in temperature, the ground below the astro, length of pile, state of cleanliness. Also astroturf needs to be groomed to keep it in the best possible condition, which is what many track operators are not willing to do. If your track is quite slippery, you may want to check out rain set-ups, which may very well be similar to a clay set-up. In any case, you might be better off with a ball diff.

Hey guys,
sorry for jumping in, but a question bothers me right now...
I run the B5R and SC5M actually and use LRP square packs in both of them since I could get them cheap.
To me it looks like as if square packs could still be run in the B6D according to the available space as I suspect from the photos.
Is that correct?

Anyone have some information/an image/web link/some advice on drilling these 3rd holes in the arms? I'd like to give that a try, but don't know where I should drill, what size bit to use, how deep to go, etc. Any help would be appreciated!

Sorry no pics.
FYI one of the advantages with the B6.1 rear arms is that the hole spacing can be finely adjusted. The change to the 3rd hole is quite noticeable (its worth 1-2 spring rate steps). The B6.1 arms will allow partway settings as well for fine tuning.

Just finished my B6 build, the CVA bone at full droop, is barely in.
Anybody else encounter this?

What is the shock shaft stroke? Refer to the setup sheet to see what I am talking about just in case I am not making sense.

New to the hobby and have my b6d. I have the Schelle hubs (SCH1234) and just got the 67mm AE CVA (91763) what are the adaptors I need to install them I see you’ve mentioned. Thanks!

I think about switching to a B6D from my B5R since the prices for new kits have dropped recently - the B6.1D is no option cause the square packs wouldn't fit as I can tell from the pictures and my batteries are like brand new
Lay down is no option though cause I race on outdoor loose, dusty dirt.

Hi everybody,
I'm new here.. and I'm looking for some feedback on the B6 split laydown gearbox from Shapeways.
Is anyone using it? Impressions?
I am seriously thinking on getting one, after AE let me down with the B6.1 release.. basically not allowing retrofit of the new split gearbox to the B6..
Thank you!

A lot of us started having issues with the stock length bones. A little wear on the cups and they would pop out on a landing, etc. (cups were still good) We all went with the 67mm bones. No problems since. We are running low ride heights on high grip carpet.
On another subject. Have you ran this yet? Looks like you have a lot of diff fluid leaking out. If so, you may want to pull the diff and take a look.
