Linky to the motor in question:

Hey Everyone, I'm just trying to select a motor, and being relatively new to electric (I'm a 5th scale gas guy) I'm trying to find an okay solution for my use case.
More specifically, I'm building this 410 to join a club when the snow melts. The track is quite tight, not much top speed needed, and I'm limited to 2s there.
However, every once and a while I'd like to take it out on 4s as I currently have a Kraton 8S and I have a bunch of batteries laying around for it. It would be nice to extend runtimes of the 410 and re-use some existing batteries I have.
The castle website said if geared moderately, I could run 4s on this motor. If needed, I don't mind installing a fan or even limiting the throttle on the transmitter to keep RPM's down.
Does anyone think running this on 2S once a week and moderately on 4s is a viable solution?
Surely my top speeds won't be great on the 2S, but for a tight track do you think with gearing this might be an ok "middlegrounds"?
I'm likely going to pick up a used 3660SD from a friend anyways as a spare in my toolbox, but I just thought I'd ask what your opinions are.
Thanks!
