Hey Jim. There are a couple versions available that are RC ready. Meaning the controller has RX leads which plug right in.
I bought the smallest version. It runs on 6-18V and can deliver 5 amps continuos to each motor and peak output of 10amps for short periods.
The next size runs on 6-24V and delivers 12amps continuos.
Really great little unit. Only flaw or problem I can see is the BEC inside it can only handle 1 amp so if you have a servo that uses high amps it will cause the controller to shut down.

Anyway, here is the link to the page of various sabertooth controllers.
