Default Looking for advice for Trex 450 with 4s setup

Hi guys,

I need some advices, I'm preparing my T-rex 450 for AP and thinking it might be a good idea to upgrade its power plan as well so i'm planning to use 4s battery setup since from what i heard and researched the stock align esc will do fine for 4s setup without additional bec (please correct me if i'm wrong). I already stretched my T-rex with 350mm blades and boom from G5


This is my motor candidate, Scorpion SCHK2208-34 Motor

Specifications
Stator Diameter 22.0 mm (0.866 in)
Stator Thickness 8.0 mm (0.315 in)
No. of Stator Arms 9
No. of Magnet Poles 6
Motor Wind 24 Turn Delta
Motor Wire 5-Strand 0.19mm
Motor Kv 2600 RPM / Volt
No-Load Current (Io) 0.85 Amps @ 10 volts
Motor Resistance (Rm) 0.126 Ohms
Max Continuous Current 15 Amps
Max Continuous Power 160 Watts
Weight 39 Grams (1.38oz)
Outside Diameter 27.9 mm (1.097 in)
Shaft Diameter 3.17 mm (0.125 in)
Body Length 20.5 mm (1.087 in)
Overall Shaft Length 42.5 mm (1.673 in)

So here are my questions
Anyone has any experience with this setup ? What is your flight time ?

What pinion i should for this setup ?

Any suggestion on the battery ? I'm planning to use Rhino 1750mAh 4S 14.8v 20C, It's cheap and it got a good rep

I'm looking for power and longer flight time so if you have other power setup suggestion, please do not hesitate

i notice some folks use outrage g5 power system, but i don't like it because it is really difficult to find battery for this system other than the outrage 6s 1300mah

Thx a lot for your help guys
