Yes on the 8ight-t 1.0 a 15t/48t on 5s is more than enough iMO (40+ w/ tire bloat) on a 1515 2.5d (1650kv). Out racing on the track I often turn it down a touch on my Rx as well. To be honest 14t is the best gearing on a 5s setup w/ the 2.5d, but I didn't want to spend another 14 on a pinion right now, lol.

On to your setup.. I think 12t on a 2200 is WAY WAY more than enough, 13t is pushing it expecially on 5s lipo.. gear for 38-40 for racing, 45 for bashing and maybe a touch higher for some random speed runs only. Keep your MMM timings low to lowest as well, punch control should not be really high iMO (10-20% max).. as for the other settings having the drag break on will increase temps as well so disable it and learn to brake if you have that on.
