The torque band of a motor is the range in which it runs efficiently at top speed. On industrial motors, its where they have 100% duty cycle. Ive put a 3hp motor on a 5hp application before, gets to max speed and everything, but had high draw and overheated like a bastard.

The motor will draw as much amperage as it can to get up to its maximum speed, it'll either reach the max possible draw of the battery and run slow, reach max speed and run super hot, or vaporize a winding.

Its not as easy as just pairing any motor with any gears and any spring. Its a balancing act.

How would you balance my act? 12.1s with a 30-35k motor or a different gear set for my current motor? Also what size battery should I run? I would like to thank everyone on this thread for the help as well!!
