Voltage and current question

RPMs are determined by motor kv (rpms per volt rating) and input voltage; gearing only alters wheel rpms. if you use a higher voltage with the same motor, you must gear down in order to reduce the load on the motor, and therefore maintain the same overall speed- efficiency will increase usually, and temps will decrease (longer runtime is also possible usually).

another option is to run a motor with a lower kv value
