If that is the case, then you need to address your problem with a mechanical solution (gearing?) to provide the acceleration desired given your motor's spec.s and the load it is driving.
Agreed. If your system can not provide enough peak power, any closed loop system will simply stay at that peak and still be limited by the battery. A servo does not create power that is not there, it controls the application of the power. Re-evaluate your motors and/or gearing.
