You trim the lower fin and you probably can gear to a 13T pinion I am thinking.

Or, you could do a 3S setup with your current motor. That should work really well too and I have heard of others doing it.

I appreciate that Cain, I may consider that. But with my thinking If I go to the lower KV 1700-1800KV I can run a bigger pinion and have the top end I need with out cramming the motor so tight to the center diff assembly ?
I dont Know, I get what I think is a good idea and confuse myself by thinking to much ?
I want to stay away from the 3s, I have one only and don't wish to purchase any more. I just dropped another 400.00 on several HC 4s packs.

You are spot on with your thinking. I think that is why the 2200Kv is somewhat popular on 3S as you get more gearing range, and , its a good motor for the money. Ideally more voltage is better for sure.

I don't think you will have a problem with your KV range, from what I have been reading, seems some of the RTRs are coming with motors in the 1800Kv range now on 4S usage.
