Right on, and it could be just how mine was. It was rubbing, but it only needed about .5mm for clearance.
My main reason for running it is because I could not get the stock one set where I needed it. Bench setting the slipper was impossible, I could tighten the nut all the way down and when hitting the throttle the front end would barely twitch.

The problem still exists though in that the AE slipper slips excessively even with the nut bottomed out on the shaft, new spring and new pads, so I switched back to the stock 22 slipper unit. It works the best for me.

Getting rear traction on the 22 seems to be more difficult then I thought it would be. The B4.1 has more rear traction and the Kyosho has even more than the b4.1. I love the steering on the 22, if I could only get the rear end planted. I know loose if fast, but its also not as consistent if your always on edge.

I'm geared @ 33/70 17.5 blinky. You will have plenty of top end. If not go up to 34 or maybe 35 I come off the track after 8 min main @ 120 both motor and ESC.

A lot of guys are pushing their packs forward quite a bit, but unless you have the traction to do that, don't. If the track is super slick, move the pack all the way back. Move it forward as you have more traction.
I've also found that most of the setup sheets list very light oil. I found that the car is twitchy and hard to drive when it's that light, although the pros may like it because it makes it very reactive. For me, I've been using 35 up front and 30 in the rear, it calms the car down and makes it a lot easier to drive.
