Well the only real way to see is to put it into the car and give it a go. I have nothing to loose!

I'm going to have to disagree unfortunately. True, your new set up wold draw less current, but, you have it geared for a higher top speed, which increases current draw. Also, the efficiency gains from the lower V to higher V are very small, and don't make enough difference IMO to counteract the lost potential power. Obviously give it a go, as experimenting is good, but I do think you'll be a bit disappointed.
