22 hands down. Plus the parts are a lot easier to get for the 22 than the 210.

I find that the 22 develops next to no slop at all, especially compared to a B4. My B4 developed play from just sitting on a shelf, it seemed. The 22's the tightest car I've driven in a long time that does not slop out from normal racing (not banging against pipes and boards as thats a driver issue not buggy's)

Yup, since first released including pipes and boards = minimal slop as well as minimal failures.

I've probably got somewhere between 300-350 laps on my car and it has less slop in it then both my B4 and B4.1 did out of the box.

I've been following this thread as I'm thinking of getting rid of my RB5 and the 22 is a serious contender.

I have heard a bit about the slop issue from other media.

Johnny is not the pipe bashing kind....

No car is going to have 0 slop but the 22 is as close as it gets. Very little slop here

steering was the first one to give in ( Slop), had to change to the Allu ones, but after awhile it too developed a slop. for someone who normally plays ones in a blue moon ... hmmmm.... oh well maybe the driving skills is the issue....

Tight Indoor tracks the RB5 excells, larger tracks the 22 is hard to beat.

Does anyone else have this problem?

On the botton of my chassis where the screw holes are that hold my mud guards on are not pre drilled for my screws to sit flush with the chassis. On the other side the screw holes are pre drilled so that the screw can sit flush. Is this a factory defect?

Yes, contact CS and they will take care of you. Also, check the forum prior to posting a new thread as the forum rules stipulate please.
