Direct drive ( motor to wheel directly)

As @Brayden21510R said, connecting a 600 rpm motor to any wheel size >2.75" will result in pretty insane speeds, and insanely awful torque.
Reducing the speed via code does nothing to affect the torque (which affects acceleration and pushing power). Your drivetrain will have roughly the same acceleration and pushing power (which are awful for such a speedy gear ratio) as if it were at full speed.

I recently made a post about the difference between reducing the speed via code and using different gear ratios:
