I have a project that i am goig to control a prototype car for this purpose have the mechanical parts of the car. For the control i have arduino mega 2560 and arduino wifi shield. I want to control the car by my computer via the wireless shield but i am new in arduino world. What can you suggest to me to do? I have to finish this project until the june. Can i control 2 servo motor and 2 dc motor at the same time ? Could there be any problems.

Thanks for the help.

Yes, a 2560 can easily control 2 servos and 2 DC motors. However, you will need a Motor drive circuit for the 2 motors unless these are very small, very low current motors. If you need to reverse the DC motor's direction then look up "H-bridge". If not then a simple MOSFET will work.

Thank you for the answer i have another question . How can i use the wireless shield ? I don't know anything about the shield.

google and read is what I'd do since I don't know anything about that shield either.
