5S with a 2200 kv motor is a bit high on max rpm for the best efficiency, but you wont be lacking in speed. I run a 13T with a 2000kv motor on 4S and its pretty fast at the track with my Losi 8B. If you are bashing I think you will be fine, but at a race you may have heat issues with the motor and/or esc. If you want lower temps I think you will need an 11T depending on your spur and diff gear ratios.
