You'd have to use the largest spur and smallest pinion available to gear it low enough.
Another option to stay with more reasonable gearing is to use an outrunner motor, which typically has a lower rpm rating, yet has more than adequate torque.

Save a few bucks and have a better config w/ the Traxxas Velineon combo... easily can handle it up to 35mph. He actually could gear it with a 17t pinion on the stock spur and just run it in "training mode" while walking/jogging (15mph) and then can run it regular mode for some higher speed play (35ish). Down the road if he wants an easy upgrade he can drop in a second velineon and run dual v's for rediculous speed/power.
Hybrid Mode
