I've never run the Venom, so my help will be bit non-specific.
What battery are you running?
How does the crawler feel like it runs to you? Too slow? Too fast?
How hot is the motor after you run it?

22 sounds a bit high to me, but it's going to depend on how you drive your crawler. Pick up a couple other pinions and experiment to see what you like best.

It depends on what size spur gear and the reduction from tranny and axles. What size did it come with (if any) ? Maybe ask around or do some reading in the creeper threads.
