I'm only close to that on 6s. Do you think 500k fluid in the center diff would make a difference?
What kind of batteries are you using? how many C? like someone said before, your voltage drop is pretty big. if you're using low quality batteries your voltage under load will drop significantly.
When I do the calculations, it comes out to exactly what you're testing:
4s: 39.94 mph
6s: 60.33 mph
I think you're inputting something wrong into the speed calculator. This is what you should be getting:
4s:
