I am completely new to robotics, so far I have purchased a Surveyor SRV-1, and have been learning very basic programming. My current interest is to radio control a set of motors that can move about 7 pounds of weight. Is there a kit that would supply me with the required components to make this happen? Or perhaps a tutorial that would describe what I need to purchasr, and how to assemble them? Being brand new to this, I have no idea how to control a motor via RC. Thanks for your input!

Just go to your local hobby shop and purchase whatever you don't have yet. You'll need a radio, receiver and an ESC or two depending on whether you're running brushless or can motors. Another option would be to read the receiver signals with a microcontroller and then output the proper PWM to motor controllers.

Searching this subject on Google should give you loads of information.
