Question "battlebot"

hey i need some input on electronics. i am planning on building an rc "battlebot" to compete against my freinds with. The plan is to have 4 wheels, 2 oneach side with no steering, just left side forward and back, and right side forward and back, like tank controls. i need to know the equip. i'll need and how to use it. That's a lot to ask i know and i'll appriciate any input. thanks.

If you havn't noticed i'm new at making my own custom stuff

You should be fine w/ 1/10 scale Tx/Rx, and then for the ESC and motors, you need to look for electric wheelchair parts.

more info

i was planning on using all rc components(1/10-1/12 scale). i have lots of radio stuff to use and plan on using 2.2" truck wheels and 20-turn motors. this is not a serious destruction robot, but more of a fun thing my freinds and i do.

you could try some silver can 540 motors instead. they will have more torque and more "destuction time". the 20 turns might be a little fast, unless you want to be running away all the time
