Higher C ratings will not make your car go faster, it will keep your car going fast. The "C" stands for the current discharge rate. The higher the Cs the more easily the motor can draw the current it needs from the battery. If you use a lower C rating the motor will struggle getting what it needs to run at its full capacity, and can overheat the battery.

It looks like your set up is perfect.
