all you need is 2 channels. I've had three channels for years and im trying to think what ive used the third for but im not sure i ever have. 2 or three, it doesn't matter
not sure which radio you're looking at but you'll only need 1 servo - there's plenty of good cheaper servos round these days and it's definitely wise to get something decent with metal gears instead of the sort of servos that might come with any transmitter. Best to get just a transmitter and receiver together and servo seperately (usually called a 'combo' if i remember correctly).
The Electronic Speed Controller does the job of throttle so only the one servo is needed, for steering.


oops, this is Jimmy btw - i forgot im on her computer
Haha. I was just thinking I gotta train my wife to talk like that.
