How to choose a receiver
I purchased a set of electronics over the internet that includes a propeller and 1100 KV 40 amp brushless motor a brushless ESC I forget what else but it doesn't come with a receiver so I was wondering how you determine how many batteries you need to use. Is that determined by the ESC? How much do the servos affect the power requirements of the receiver? does the torque affect the amount of current the receiver has to deliver to the servos? If there's a standard voltage for the receiver how would I know what voltage of batteries to get for the ESC? Can I buy a spectrum receiver transmitter set to go with a non-spectrum set of ESC and motor and servos?

You are WAY OVER YOUR HEAD and any explanation for what's going on you would not understand. Do some research, a LOT of research on the topic and then maybe someone can talk to you in terms you'll understand.

Yes I am way over my head with a lot of these questions. I only hope I can figure it out in time to know what direction to go in. I think I am going to give up the hobby

I hope you dont give up. RC is so much fun and very rewarding. Hopefully you give it a shot.

Thank you for the encouragement. It's not so much the complexity of it that's one thing but also I've tried to build about 12 models and I couldn't get any of them to work right. Not so much due to the complexity of the electronics but just the assembly process with my Parkinson's. And I had nine ready to fly airplanes which I could barely fly and about 12 or 13 helicopters and drones which I had a little bit better luck with but not much. I probably would keep trying but my wife doesn't want me to spend any more money on the hobby and it's becoming a point of contention for us. It's frustrating transit to pursue an expensive hobby with limited funds. Maybe I'll just put it on the back burner for a while.
