You could also feel your solder connections after a while of running. If they feel warmer than the wires, you could be getting voltage drop on the connections at high currents.

As others have said;

1: Get batteries that can handle the load without as much v drop
or
2: Get higher voltage and higher wind motor. A 10XL or 11XL on 5s or 6s should do nicely.
or
3: Simply gear down. You won't get the same top speed, but your batts will thank you.

hi
yeah very high gearing you have there. that thing must get pretty high amp drawing. gearing down (smaller pinion, bigger spur) would be a first and easy thing to do.
