Can you point me to a website that explains how to gear down? Preferably
with photos too? Hopefully I can find a club soon that may have some more
experienced members to help me out, this is my first RC. I'm loving it
though.

Try getting a set like this:

You just swap the little metal gear on the motor output shaft with a
larger or smaller one untill you get good acceleration. Keep in mind
that you'll have to reset the motor position so that the new gear is
meshed with the spur gear. You want it as close as possible without
grinding.
