As far as I know, all you need is the servo and the reciever you plug it into.
Servos are special devices that move, not like a motor round and round,
but to an angle. For instance, a 90 degree servo will move its arm 45 degrees left or right.
You should buy a reciever thats plug matches the plug on the servo.
Usualy the reciever has a female plug, the servo has a male plug. Usualy they are
rectangle shaped. This is the basic description. To be honost, I don't have a lot of details on the relationship
between the servo and the reciever but it uses pulse wave ocilators to move the servo.
different frequincys for different movements.

Hi,

Servos are basically small geared motors. The way controllers talk to them can be a bit difficult to understand depending on the electronics background you have.

However, it is not that hard either. Here is a good plave to start:

Uh.... Well If you get the servo and the reciever from the same company
you should be able to plug it right into the reciever.
