Any other things I should get to go along with this to start out?

I'm fairly certain that alone isn't going to give you RC capability, it's meant to be autonomous. You're probably going to want to add an XBee Shield, Bluetooth Shield, WiFi Shield, or RF Module, or something of the sort to allow for wireless comms. From there it's writing a program that will send out data from the PC/Control system and then something on the Arduino end to interpret that data and send out signals to the motors.
