IMHO you should go with a drive train and chassis that's a little more substantial, heck for a few bucks more you can get noticeably more powerful motors: http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-72001.html

As for what you'll need:

A speed controller or relay for every motor
A robot controller or R/C receiver
An R/C transmitter
A battery pack
Fuses, switches, wires, ect
I know that we have some of the IFI systems, is that what you're referencing?
