Your speed control is your limiting factor. It wont run 4 cells.

And the battery compartment probably won't fit'em.

Yes very true it it just fits the 2200 3cell. Maybe a different motor or play with pinions to get what you are looking for. This is the easiest way to get better performance.Pinions are cheep and easy to change.

That's true - you would need to rebuild too much for 4S to be worth the trouble. The stock motor and ESC are pretty anemic anyway, so you'll see much more improvement going to a 300+ W power system. Something like a Sonix 3500 kV on a 13T pinion and a Hobbywing 40A ESC is probably the cheapest you can get away with, but the options are only limited by the space available for the motor.
