The reason you get more punch out of the parallel batteries is that the single battery can't deliver the amount of current the motor wants. Top speed will be affected much less because the current needed at top speed drops a lot. It's the acceleration that sucks amps and strains the battery.

Tis effect depends on the battery... some lipos would have the same issue and some don't break a sweat delivering 100 amps....
