@Billy - Appreciate that your TC habits may take a while to soften but you will find that the 22 will reward a smoother driving style - mashing the throttle hard may feel quick but rarely is.
The key (that I have found anyway) with the 22 is to drive with a smooth style that maintains high corner speeds.
If you treat the throttle like a binary switch, it will bite you but the set up that Chris Delves has worked on has provided him with a wider window in which he can safely attack.
The 22 is highly reactive to small changes - and it will feedback to you what each change does - so take your time to figure out what suits your style.
And if you're down at Maritime - come and find us and feel free to ask for any advice / hints / tips that you want. Remember though - what works for one may not always work for others but advice is freely given and you're welcome to use it if you see fit.
Good luck and let us know how you get on :-)

Thank you very much for that post mate. Iv smoothed my driving style out a lot in TC which i bought over to my first attempt at 2wd last tuesday at maritime with a kyosho DB1. I was getting better and better as the night went on so in due time. Im sure ill be ok.
Iv always gone with exactly as you have said there, not everyones setup suits others. My Type R has my very own set up on it which works very well and gives the brand new xrays a bloody good run. i really just needed a set up to start me off. One that i could then work on to make my own. Im gonna start with the set Chris made up for me from the kit setup with just adding green front springs. Then ill work from there.
ill make sure i come say hello at the next meet for sure. Cheers for all the help
