I'm sure that he'll need some speed controllers and a control system. That's not something you find laying around just anywhere.
Control System MIGHT be, I'll look into it. Would the old 883s and an old IFI system work? But depending on what they want to do with it might be worth putting together a custom control system using something a little longer range (Zigbee comes to mind) which could be done cheaper than the IFI system at a cost to the power of it.

Specifics, I am going to guess they would need 2 speed controllers and a full control system including joysticks and radio equipment. Anything else?

Anyway, I'll see if I can find an old control system that would be able to be donated or look into the cost of a custom one. If we can swing a control system I just ask that we get a picture of the finished product (posted on CD would be fine).
