If you get this even at 50mph might have some type of drag going on.
Check the brakes. Check motor for drag.
With fat tires be sure alignment is correct, fully inflate the tires.

There has been a big trend to get a "big block" e-motor to go fast.
An 11" motor is overkill for such a light car.
Whatchu talking about, too much motor is just enough . I bet that sucker is a blast to drive.
