Default Help with a custom build large scale RC

Hi -

I have a go-cart and think it would be a good project to convert to a large scale RC. I also have a 3 axis CNC Gantry router that I designed and built myself. I will rebuilt a chassis to have this become a 1/4th or 1/5th scale RC.
I think I have a good handle on what I can and can't do with this. The main area where I have questions are servo's and bodies..

What servo's would I need to use for my steering, gas and brake?

When it is all said and done, I will need a 1/4th or 1/5th scale body for it. Where acan I get hold of an inexpensive body for the large scale cars? Money as always is a big factor in anyone's projects, so need help with finding affordable solutions.

Any other advice would also be appreciated.

Thanks -
