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.

I didn't necessarily mean just aluminum stuff. I meant all the Factory Team option parts. I went to the AE website and clicked on option parts and accessories and saw a lot of different things, but upon further investigation, most of the stuff with the Factory Team stamp IS already included in the box. So, yeah.... guess there really isn't much else.

Remember everyone, a team kit always comes first on a new platform. Then a year later a Factory Team kit. And yes the B5m followed this pattern too. B5m, 12 months later the Factory Lite came along. This is normal.
With that said, put Ti turnbuckles on it and buy tires. Tires and track time. Practice is always the best upgrade you can make.

I don't think Factory Team Kits are a normal next release anymore.
Maybe just the odd Special release like the Champions Edition for something else to do. If the win the 1/8 Buggy Worlds this year we can bet on something again like that.
Just keep the prices reasonable on upgrades parts and I am good to buy what you feel is helpful.

follow the money it will tell you what is coming out. If profits are great enough for team kit it will happen.

Screw kit
I need to order a screw kit for my b6d. My question is, since I got the 6D but converted to the laydown tranjy, should I buy my screw kit for the B6 not the b6d?

Pretty easy build but had to search through a few bags for some parts..
We run on med-high bite clay
Went to 27.5 oil in the back and down to 1mm on the steering rack..overall ran reAlly well!

Did you get the B6D or B6 for your track surface?

The b6d...thinking about getting the laydown.
One guy at the track had the b6 and seemed to be pretty hooked up
Our track is high bite right after a rebuild and fades...I think the b6 would be great on a fresh track, but here I think ultimately the b6d is the best bet.

I got the B6 for indoor clay track medium traction
It is was so quick around the corners and felt so nice, would be great for carpet.
I have today got flat arms and narrow shock tower, i did 18mins with it and was getting my fastest lap times.
I think the go would be to buy a B6D and get a laydown transmission for the win for most combinations.
For carpet only B6 easy
Will post some video of it soon. GOt some video of team driver on track on B6 kit setup

Tech Addict
Is there a parts list to convert the B6D to a B6?
