the higher the voltage ( more batteries) the faster it will turn.
beware though, a servo is rated 6V max. So 7V will probably still go; 8V maybe, maybe not...

Use larger wheels.

dont think so

the motors will handle it, but not the circuitry inside  4.8-6v

You could buy a faster servo. There are very fast servos out there.

its true, a higher voltage will make it faster/stronger. but it will also cause your motor to fry/fail faster too ;D

This is probably your best bet. Im using the same principle on a spring powered vehicle in my engineering class in school and so far, my vehicle is going further than everyone elses because ive got bigger wheels. It really does make a difference.

Dont put 48 volts to your servo and expect it to reach mach 3 :P a 6 volt rated servo should get a MAX of 7 volts... it might take 8 volts but only for a few moments before it melts.
