The 22 is a very good car, but its design ( roll centers, weight distribution, etc ) is largely based for the US-style tracks. So it has a lot of forward grip to attack big jumps coming out of the corners, and it likes to rotate on a dime because the US tracks are often less flowing (lots of 90/180deg. sharp turns) than the European / UK tracks.
Big plus for this is that the 22 is a monster on the tight indoor tracks.
Biggest problem that I found with it was the pistons. Sad because on the previous losi shocks the pistons were super consistent. Now on the versions I've seen (haven’t seen recent ones though, so maybe there better at this time) the pistons weren't flat and the holes weren't always drilled straight. But there are a couple of really good aftermarket pistons available, so easy solution right there.
If you have trouble with the amount of steering while exiting corners, just adjust the rear anti-squad so it doesn't transfer as much weight to the rear while accelerating
I've modded the rear hubs. I've lowered them by about 2mm. It gives the car a lot more stability on longer sweeping turns.
Also changed the slipper, I replaced the stock items with the AE slipperpads (and AE style spur) and I switched back to the old slipperspring which is more consistent.
Apart from that. Excellent piece of machinery
