Default Jeep Willys 1/6 scale project

Hello,
Hoping someone can make suggestions as I embark on this project. I have the Dragon 1/6 large scale Jeep Model kit and my plan was to just set the jeep on top of the ...

Traxxas TRX-4 1/10 Scale Trail Rock Crawler Assembly Kit

I watched the video from AMAIN on youtube and the chassis looks perfect for my jeep. My only concern is that I'd be looking for about 5mph more in the low spead setting, and 5 to 10mph more in the high speed setting. I'm not thrilled about the brushed motor it comes with. I might replace it with a 13.5 T "Torque" model that is out there.

Would that solve my speed concern, or do I need to make changes to the gears etc, in which case, I would just build from scratch.

Thanks in advance for any pearls of wisdom!!
