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.

Are you guys still helium soaking your closed cell foams? If so how long do you do it for? I was having problems until I realized I needed to turn the Tupperware container upside down, put it over my foams, THEN shoot the helium inside the container. Otherwise if the container is right side up the helium dissipates instantly! That stuff is like magic.

The site is jumping all over the place for dates...I wouldn't worry about it right now. I didn't order until mid-may and was told by tower that I should be fine to get a first batch run. Amain told me that they have double the amt of pre-orders coming. They aren't getting them until the 13th though for some reason. Tower looks to already have some.

Finally was able to order all the laydown conversion parts from AE. I want to have a built laydown/gear diff/slipper/motor plate/chassis brace assembly ready for the once in a blue moon I run on carpet. I can just bolt it in, change shock springs and have a pretty good setup.
I think the standup will be superior on the clay tracks I normally run so I'm setting up my D that way out of the box.
