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.

Hi guys,
I'm running a B6d on medium traction indoor dirt. The car is really easy to drive and stable but I am needing more mid-corner speed. I am unable to "drive" my way around this obstacle but am reluctant to switch to the laydown as I'm not sure this will help.
The setup I'm running is close to below (I am in middle hole on front arm). I am thinking of emulating a laydown setup (battery in forward position, shocks to outside on front arms) but any thoughts from the AE army are welcome and appreciated.

When running a rear swaybar on a b6 on astro (indoor and out), what change to the handling can I expect, other than less roll? I've never had a swaybar on a 1/10 car before.

IMO, the biggest difference between laydown and standup is how much more mid-corner speed you get. I noticed this on my B5M/B6 and my TLR 22T 3.0. It's not as much the weight distribution, but moving the weight down low. So a long way of saying I think you should try laydown.
I'll try the battery forward/front end changes to see if that's a step in the right direction. Laydown conversion kits are scarce, anyway.
This is what I have in mind:

With laydown, are the 67mm dogbones and requisite hubs an absolute necessity?
