My ESC says it can go down to 36 turns...

Can anyone recommend me a Motor?

(No Brushless and no upgrading the ESC, I just need a New Motor)

I was thinking of a HPI X35???

Just becuse your ESC says it can go down to 36 turns, does not mean you need to go that low. For crawling and pricing get any 55T lathe motor.

55T Matrix Pro Lathe motor by Team Integy, $18.50 US

I think this guy might mean it can go up to a 36 turn...cuz don't they all pretty much go down to like 12t. So a 35 t hpi would be about as torqy as he can go. Or am I off?

Just about any ESC on the market can handle a crawler (lathe) motor. The more turn a motor has, the less current it will draw at peak RPM. So using a 55T motor on a speedo that supposedly can only handle down to a 36T is totally feasible. So depending on what you wanna do, you could use a 35T, 45T, 55T and on up. The defacto standard crawler motor is a 55T, so an integy lathe motor or the Novak Fifty-5 would be a good choice.

What's the model of the speed control anyway?

With the M-Troniks RV15, it just see's it as an open circuit and wont recognise the motor as being there.. so 35T is as low as I can go..

Well I got the HPI X-35.. and whilst it will do the job.. its still a relatively fast motor..
