The Traxxas battery will probably work just fine and according to the c-rating, it is capable of much higher current than the 2200 that came with your car.

2.2A*40 = 88A

7.6*25 = 190A

All those c-ratings that you see above 50C are pretty much BS anyway. Even if the cells can handle that current, the wire and connecters used can't (50C, 5000 would be 250A, 12AWG would be really toasty really fast).
