Gear Ratio to Maximize Chassis Speed?

Hi Everybody,
So, we want to maximize our chassis speed but still be able to carry at least 120 pounds, does anybody know the gear ratio we'd need to use?
Our prototype chassis is basically the kitbot, it has a 6 wheel drive, and is driven by 2 CIMs with 2 toughbox minis, but replacing gearboxes is an option.
Adding motors is also an option, but we would like to stray away from that.
Thank you for your help!
