Standard radio equipment and Tone servo for steering. Nothing is bigger than a tone servo.

You say its going to be atv size? Do you mean like a full size atv? What kind of weight are you thinking this will be? Is it going to be totally custom built, or something built off of a regular atv?
For a full size atv you are going to need a huge steering and brake servo. I've seen somebody make servos out of automobile window motors, but i'm not sure how easy that is to set up or how well it works out.

it's going to be a custom job. the frame and everything. using a lawn mower engine. about the size of an atv but a lot lighter. wheels are going to be from a smaller ATV. i usually built smaller scale like 1/8 trucks but this is my dream project. trying to find the things i need and then built the frame around what i have. so far from the engine size frame looks like it will about the size of a small atv when comlete with tires.
thanks guys for any input and tips.

when you guys mention "Tone" servos, are you referring to "Tonegawa" Servos like this:
