Just my opinion
I will agree with you on that. The one thing i noticed when i ran mine on the lower bite tracks...as soon as i began to drive it hard it seemed to roll more and then it became a handful. When i was smooth with it was when it was pretty good. Losi/TLR cars always seem to have more traction then the AE stuff but lack a bit in the steering department. Another thing that was weird was the 22 didnt feel consistent run to run as much as the b4. I dont get to race that often due to work but it seemed i was always chasing the car setup, first heat was good and by the time the main hit it didnt feel right. It seems that the B4 could be thrown down and worked well everytime. Some of this has to be attributed to the fact that the b4 series has been out for 10 years and has a very solid base whereas the 22 is a completely new platform. The TLR drivers that I know have worked very hard week in and week out to make it pretty darn good throughout the AZ tracks.
