I doubt you'll get enough torque out of an R/C motor. And, as I said, you can get the speed control and power saving with your current motor by running a PWM control to it (and bypassing the resistors).

I paid about $5 for a PWM circuit off ebay that's good up to 90vdc and 15 amps. It's smaller than a deck of cards.

BTW, I think some of the return-less fuel systems are already being controlled by PWM directly from the ECU.
