To be fair, 2200KV on 3S would be considered a 'low power' set-up. 4S on 2200KV is more normal.
Yes, track and driving style are the key, but if you choose the right motor-voltage-capacity it's easy to clear 20 minutes even if you're not a smooth driver.

It is "low power" but gearing makes it fast enough to beat the nitro guys
