Default Tekin Brushless motor rotor question

I have a 1700 kv tekin t8 in my buggy. I went to the track yesterday, and i was left wanting more power. My motor temps were 155 at the end of a full 5000mah pack, so I don't want to raise the pinion with these current temps. My question is about the internals of the motor. I see on tower that there is a buggy rotor, and a truck rotor, because of the lengths i assume. Is the "kv rating" specific to the rotor? Can i change to kv by changing the rotor? Or can I not. There is only 1 "buggy rotor" which leaves me to believe that I cannot.

Is there anything I can do to get more speed out of it, or am I stuck? How much would a fan help the temps? If I put a fan on the motor, could I raise the pinion?

Thank you for reading
