That motor is too small for the weight, simple as that. I would get an 8XL or 9XL motor, which is quite a bit larger.

And yes, 12 cells will be better, but on a properly sized motor.

You could actually try to lock it in first gear instead, and use the smallest pinion/largest spur if you insist on using the 5700 motor, but I don't think you'll be satisfied and you'll have extra heat.

Oh, and you can find ratios for many transmissions in the link in my sig.
