Don't fret about how it feels on ground. The static thrust you felt is quite meaningless. More useful, you should calculate the rpm against the prop pitch.
Choose a prop with a little higher pitch to keep the prop velocity up on the step. It is no use of having 1:1 thrust to weight ratio, when the prop velocity is near the stall speed of the model.
Many years ago, many small electric warbirds are designed to use only direct drive speed 400 brushed motors, which produced very little power, compared to today's brushless motors. Using smaller diameter prop with respective pitch is the key to make them fly well.
