It's a good question re the TLR 22 as many cars now are adopting the mid-motor setup. i.e. Team C TM2, KF like you said, Rudebits DB2/DB1.

Though that said, plenty of people are still getting good results with the older rear motor cars.

It also seems to be a common platform to have a shorty on one side of the car and the speedo on the other for better balance and reduced weight. Both 2wd and 4wd cars are doing this i.e. DB2, TM2, ZX6, 22-4 (mod) etc.

I have found (personally) for the 22-4 to perform, you have to run 2wd fronts in dry conditions otherwise the car is un-drivable indoors or out. With exceptions when the track is slippery/wet.

They are going to be at a disadvantage with the kf's out there etc. Also now with the new yokomo. The 4wd isn't going to be the issue at all
