A resistor will get warm ,a chain of diodes will reduce the voltage to the motor by .6 volt per diode I have a diode chain on a rotary switch wired into my controller so I can step down the voltage until the car becomes driveable ,However this has to be adjusted along with the power control to the transistor in order to ensure the car has sufficient power to start on the lower voltage . If you are using a resistor type controller the resistance of the controller will need to be reduced as the voltage drops .
Personaly I would source a slower motor there's plenty about .
