Find some H Bridge module or build my own?

I'm doing an RC car with arduino and I got stuck on the H-bridge part.

I'm using an old RC car as a base, so I'm taking advantage of the structure (including the engine and battery) and changing only the electronic part.

I started using a module with an L298N, but after 15 minutes it started to smell burned and stopped working. Every datasheet I find is for the L298 without the N, which tells me they support up to 50v and 2A, but nothing tells me about the L298N exactly.

I need a H-bridge to finish it, I wish it would be possible to control the speed without PWM.

The battery is 9.6V and the motor consumes 2A.

Is there any H-bridge module I can buy? Or, what components should I use to build a H bridge?

I'd rather buy some module, because if I need to build my H-bridge, I'll have to do it on boards like this: Board Example

PS: I live in the interior of Brazil and it is difficult to find good electronics stores, even to buy over the internet.
