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.

I haven't seen any photos showing Cavalieri's shocks on the rear, all the photos I've seen show on the front of the arm... maybe an error on the setup sheet?

The JConcepts Aluminum wing mounts from the B5M do NOT fit the B6D. The B6D wing mounts are longer and have a narrower taper at the end to fit inside the CF shock tower. Also, the JConcepts front axle with clamping hex does NOT fit the B6D. The JConcepts axle is too short and the hole for the hex pin does not clear the B6D caster block bushing.

Finally got to run my b6. The car is really good. Great corner speed and the car is easy to work on.

I see you are using a protek 160T servo, as am I. I can't tell from the pictures but did you leave out the plastic spacers on the servo mounts?

I did leave them out. I found it moved the servo just too far fwd and the link was level without them

I cut the body following line A (laydown w/shocks in rear) which looks wrong to me considering the spur gear is now completely exposed. I contacted AE and they said the manual is correct. how can that be possible?


Thank you for contacting Team Associated's Customer Support.
Based on what you are telling me the diagram is actually correct.
Cutline A shows least amount of cutting of the body to cover the spur gear while Cultine C shows the cut out for the spurgear.



just trying to confirm I am not taking crazy pills

Cut line "a" is only the rear portion. You do not cut towards the spur gear, that's for cut line C.

A on the left, C on the right

i see now what they're getting at, but essentially A and C are backwards; the key/legend shows line A as the solid line, which in the picture shows the cutout for the gear cover/stand up transmission.
