One small point. If you have access to a volt meter, could you check if
your wall transformer really is putting out 12Vdc. Many of those
adjustable transformers are notorious for being more then they are
rated. I'm curious how much voltage you are really driving that motor
with.
Also you might be able to have a "more lego" solution in terms of power,
if you build a battery box adder. as seen here:

Dave Koudys has a post about voltage starting here

Again, good job. I want to more closely study your propeller.
Chris
