You need 2 motors...preferably matching. Depending on your radio...you'll need either 2 ESCs or a dig switch. You're gonna want a 10 amp BEC & decent servo with decent torque. Somewhere around the 300 oz marks a popular choice. 3s batteries are the norm but some go as low as 2s & others as high as 4s. Smaller packs are better. In the range of 450mAh-850mAh is the usual. You can get away with larger packs but its unnecessary weight.

Sorry its so vague but there's a TON of helpful build threads here & Harley has a great sticky at the top of this section to help line you out. Do the searches & read Harleys guide. It's just too difficult to line someone out start to finish without em having a baseline of info.

This site does have a Newbie section you know. You might want to do some reading there first before you get a bit keyboard happy. I would be amazed if this thread doesn't get moved there by the mods so you don't get flamed too bad.

You can go as complicated or as simple as you want. Good choice on the Savox servo. I run one and have had very good luck with it. Soon I will be getting another, stronger one. I would advise you to read through the various build threads in the XR10 section. Take a look and maybe ask some questions about how everyone else had done theirs. Harley has a sticky with quite a bit of useful information in that section as well.
