You might consider changing the gear ratio. I am using a BMW diff that has a 4.44 to 1 ratio which is a little low also but I am using 2 9" motors in series that will make things better. If I don't like it I am going to use a Ford thunderbird diff which can be loaded with 5.13 to 1 gears.
That's good advice. I'm using a Ford T'bird IRS with 5.14:1 gears and a Netgain Warp9 motor. This ratio makes good use of the motor's torque/speed range. It provides plenty of torque for hills, and a top speed over 80 mph without a transmission.
