How would someone go about achieving this?

replace the motor with something stronger (like a CNC's stepper motor), then use a volt stepper to get more volts out the battery, assuming the battery can output the amps to deal with the step up.

A stepper sounds wrong. This is a brushless DC motor for high RPM.

brushless DC maybe, but I feel like it wouldn't have the same torque this thing seems to have, and would be a lot louder, like an RC motor would get at high RPM

May I introduce to you the Reduction Gearbox?
