Can't hook up 12V to a 6V motor, due to the windings of the 6V motor. Chances are you would burn the motor up fast.

If you want longer run time, just add a second 6V battery, + to + and - to -. That would boost power some and longer run time.

That doesn't sound fun.

I think this is all you can do. Increasing the voltage would cause it to pull less amps. I'm straining to remember my electrical engineering classes, but I think that what the result would be. Less current will cause the motor to run incorrectly.
