There are many, many things that affect run time. No one will be able to tell you anything accurately without knowing more of your setup. Some things that affect run time are:

bearings or bushings?
worm gears?
gearing?
tire height
tire/rim weight
total rig weight
any electrical accessories?

Say you had worm gears, bushings, really tall gearing for top end, super tight gear mesh, really tall, heavy tires/rims on a heavy truck with lots of lights. a 3s 2200mah 25c Lipo would run maybe 2 minutes, then blow up probably. LOL!

Same battery and motor on a really light rig with bearings, low gearing, no binding at all, shorter tires, no rim weight, etc... and you can run for half an hour or more...

So we need more info than just battery size and motor turns to help you.

ya I wasnt sure lol thats why I added that insert lol, it's a axial axles and tranny, with gcm transfer case, my tires are the 2.2 mil spec with the 2.2 bead cut out and 1.9 beads put in its place, scx10 chassis, at the moment I think my rig weighs 4 pounds? no weight at the moment in the wheels, bearing and bushings, I could not tell you other than I switched the brushed in my new axiom motor into the 35T lol

I run a 2200 3s & 45t in one of my scale rigs, on average i get about 1.5hrs on a trail drive before i need to switch it out.
So you're probably going to get at least an hour.
