I started with about as much RC know-how as yourself ans has a grand adventure trying to figure it all out. First of all, ask a few questions. 1. how far are into your tank build, and do you have any photos? 2. do you have a radio/receiver? if not you will need at least 5 channels. 3. Do you have suitable motors? 24 15amp will not do. 24v 350w are pretty much the standard (besure they have gear reduction already) 4. Do you have batteries? Get some , I recomend two 12v 26ah batteries to start with (make sure they fit in the tank first). 5. do you have a speed control? Thats the bit that will convert your radio signals to electrical control for your motors. Here you can spend any where form $25 to $500. You usualy get what you pay for. For something cheap and reliable check out www.anvilus.com
Be sure to ask lots of questions, there are a lot of real fine people here happy to help you. Use them, send photos, ask questions.
