The 2200 kv motor will be similar to the 2650 kv motor because both are 1Y wound. The only difference is the length of the motor. Increasing the length increases torque at the expense of rpm. So in other words each motor should handle equally well when geared to go a given speed. The advantages of the 2200 are that it will handle 6s better, has more surface area and volume to deal with heat, and can handle higher gearing. The advantages of the 2650 are that it's smaller sized and less weight.
