Most radio nowadays use this method, hence pretty much every radio got the "FHSS" written on it. A radio talks to a receiver via protocol which dictates the way to skip (hop) between frequency and possibly other attributes like transmitting encryption and telemetry. And each brand has its own protocol.

Take it slow. Try and study the manual to see what you want to do. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask. Some setups you need to know: - REV or channel reversing, this will reverse the control so for example if your car turns in the opposite direction, you need to reverse channel 1. - EPA or end point, this limits the end of each side of the channel so you can limit the left and right turn separately and make the car turns equally to both sides.

You can power the receiver from any channel. Power and ground are all connected across all channels. If channel 1 and 2 are occupied then you can use channel 3 or the last channel on your receiver so it's easier to plug and unplug. **Important!** Don't forget to remove the power cable (red wire) from the ESC if you plug the battery to the receiver directly. Also check if the voltage is applicable. If I remember correctly the receiver takes up to 10V so 2S or even 2S HV will be fine.

As for touring you'd start at around 3500KV, it's easy to drive because it'll give out the power around a standard brushed motor. 5500KV is faster and versatile, 7500KV if you have long straight.
