14/46 is what I used to run with my castle 2650 in my 8ight, even with 5s and there is no to little increase intemps over an 11 or 12 tooth. With the 2200 which has more torque due to the longer can, you should at least be using a 16 or 17 tooth pinion gear, and you will see why castle motors are generally reputed way too fast for the track.

Once again my tekin 1900 only runs 10 degrees warmer geared 20/46 than geared 14/46 or 16/46.
