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.

Anyone running the 3 gear standup? I am debating trying it for giggles. Will the layback topshaft not work?

Àrr you talking about the b6 or b6.1? There is no layback option for the b6. If going from the b6 laydown to standup there is no difference in the top haft. The idler gear is different though.

Any ideas?



And prevention would be to install a longer ballstud that protrudes beyond the bracket so you can extract it with pliars.

I also don't use the standard blue Associated spacers under my ballstuds any longer. Switched over to the larger OD spacers used on Losi 22 vehicles. More stable for sure. Warning: Losi spacers are not cheap...LOL

I didnt say layback or laydown, I said standup. As in, I want more rear grip I know the b6 stand up fits and I might try that, if i still have mine. But I cant find any actual picks of the b6.1 with the new stand up anywhere.

I got confused because you asked if the layback topshaft works in the standup configuration and you posted this in the B6 thread and not the b6.1 thread anyway, you will need the standup gearcase, motor plate and topshaft in order to convert to the standup configuration. Here is a link to the matrix on converting to the different configurations.

AE has bigger OD washers as well, not sure if they are any cheaper or not

Can anyone give me the correct tie-rod lengths for 0 and 0.5 and +1 degrees of toe-out on the B6? Thanks.

Unfortunately, they are different depending on what steering arms you are using, how many bump steer washers you have, your camber setting, your caster setting, your ride height, and how many ackerman spacers you are using. Best thing to do is adjust them after setting up all other suspension/steering parameters.

At $9 per size for the AE ones, Losi is cheaper. But, I do like blue...LOL
