It's worth your while calculating your ideal speed and buying a motor that fits it. for the LEGO wheels I use 500rpm results in a good speed at 7.4v.
If the motor spec states rpm it'll be at a particular voltage. You need to divide rpm by volts and multiply by the volts that you'll be using to see what rpm you'll get.
