Well I'm building a 13 foot heavy duty wrecker. Motor for drive and steering, two linear actuators for boom up n down, one for stinger in n out, one for stinger up n down, one each for left n right outrigger up n down, and also two more for winches. I really don't know what kind of trans n reciever I should get In the truck I'm building has 6 car batteries in parallel it needs ten channels. Would it work if I hooked a motor controller to each motor and linear actuator and the receiver channel to each controller. Of course having the power and grounds to the controller. Would that work*
 
id guess you could use an esc (electronic speed control) to control linear actuators, they are just a motor. failing that, just use a cheap servo and 2 micro switches, one for each direction. another option would be a "battle switch". basicly its a relay controlled by the radio.

im not sure what radio to use, for 10 channels your gonna have to spend some big bucks. im gonna guess your going to need 3 position switches on a bunch of channels.

Ya I would like to use a toggle switch setup for the remote. Can you make a homemade remote.

Explain alittle more above about relays and stuff.
