The range is just far far wider than it used to be on brushed motors (and even brushless motors with cheaper ESCs)

Just pick a sort of suitableish motor, and play with timing/ratios/set up.

Its a bit like trying to get a massively turboed, low compression ratio racing engine to produce 100 hp, you can do it, but it'll be terrible to drive, same with trying to get 300 hp out of a 1.4 supermini engine.

(I've found that an 8.5 will do all you want in 2wd outdoors, 10.5 indoors)

Decreasing tinming gives more torque, increasing give more revs.
