Motors

As a first year competing team we have faced many run in's with the design restrictions due to small parts and First. We have overcome them all but I still have one main question which is directed to any veteran teams. We have decided to power ours with the motors that came in the kit. (Not the drill motors) We have gear'd it down say to 8-1. We are still hauling with some serious speed. Some serious feet per minute with even a more grander 10 mph conversion. Is this a typical speed that robots run at or will it be s big problem that we will have to overcome. Our controls are well designed to only put out about 75 percent power but i am still concerned. Thank you
