From what I've seen, the slipperential tends to create a low gear ratio. To get more speed, try using smaller spur, larger pinion, higher voltage, higher kv motor, and/or bigger tires.

And don't forget, once the calculator gets past ~45mph, wind resistance plays a BIG role in actual speed (depending on vehicle).
