Yes, the CIM motors have a max rpm of about 5500.

Using the CIM motors geared 1:3 with the 9" pnuematic wheels will give you a top speed of 55 fps,

That is way too fast!

I would recommend gearing 1:10 and using the 6" skyway wheels, this would give you a top speed of 11 fps, much more manageable
