You raise good points about having to "chase" the proper slipper setting. On both race cars (TLR 22 buggy and stadium truck) this is a setting that I am constantly paying attention to and frequently adjusting. It's just understood that this is a maintenance item.
I'm not sure which TLR 22 vehicles you have, but anything earlier than the 3.0 has the worst slippers ever invented! I spent a lot of time and money trying to figure out why the slipper never worked properly on my 2.0 SCT. They made it a little better in the 3.0/4.0 by using a stiffer slipper spring, so at a minimum I would try that.
The real fix is to get a 5.0 topshaft and slipper assembly, where they finally fixed the problem once and for all. I'm not 100% sure it's compatible with the 1.0/2.0 (it definitely will fit a 3.0/4.0), but most likely it does. I think they even sell a little kit to do the upgrade.
