radio questions

[ratsrail]

i am new to this big rig part of the rc world and i have a few questions . I bought a used king hauler with no radio or speed control . so my questions are as follows
1) can you use any four channel 2.4 radio or does it have to be surface type ?
2) what speed control works best ?
3) can i go brushless or is brushed the way it hast to be ?
4) when using styrene for body work what glue do you use and where do you get it ?
5) what kind of body filler is it that you guys are using ?
6) what kind of paint do i use on a prepped body ?
7) when making stacks how to you smooth out the elbows ?
this truck is my winter protect with the possibility of doing a second one brand new global liner which i would like to make longer but that is another time thing. also where is the best place to get upgrades to my truck ? thank you and keep up the great build i love to see them and one day hope to have one or two of mine up on this page
