not that this is especially helpful, but generally you use a servo to control a rudder.

what are you making? are you really looking for remote control--or are you actually looking for something wireless? And do you need proportional control?

Tamiya makes some remote controlled gearboxes for their smaller model tanks and such that you might look into--mind you these are generally wired remote controls.

Search for X-Mod Cars. My older brother loves those and they are very customizable reaching speeds up to 60mph. Very reasonable prices too.

I really don't think anything that fast could be called an xmod anymore. In any case it helps me know who's reliable. 93 mph, really... :?

That said, xmods are popping up at goodwills and are fairly easy to come by for creative construction purposes. For ~$3 a pop they're a bargain. However it sounds like you need at least 3 channels--two motors and a servo. How heavy is it?

if you're going to go radio control, what you need to pull apart is a park flyer. Dual motor sounds preferable. The xmas deals are upon us, it's not a bad idea to price them now. Probably start around $50.

Either grab a Traxxas Rustler with Mech. speed control (has two servos already jooked up and ready to use) for $120 from Towre Hobbies, or find just the servos and a reciever. You can probably grab a transmitter off ebay cheap.
