If you load the motor then it will draw more current,
which will depress the voltage depending on the internal resistance
of the batteries (you can forget about the battery cases and cables)
and it will run slower.  So if the internal resistance of
the batteries is high, i.e. they can't provide much current,
then the motor will slow down a lot under load.
NiMHs ought to be better under load than standard alkalines,
but I have not tested it.
And then there are also high power alkalines.

This is a good tip, I will try it on my (fairly heavy) bus.



Hope this helps
