Also, if you remove the gearbox from the motors, the motors will spin significantly faster than the 153 rpm indicated by the sticker on the motor.
One thing though, higher speed also means less torque. At least if what i read about the motors are right from another post on here. It seems max output achieved is around 11.81 kg/cm@76.1 RPM and for max efficiency (which is slightly under max output) 9.77 kg/cm@88RPM
