Trying to find out way to use as cheap parts as possible for the setup, on Ardupilots website they suggest a bunch control units but they are kind of expensive so looking in to how to run the software on cheaper dev boards. mRo PixRacer R15 and DRAGON LINK NANO RECEIVER was a consideration of components I found on Ardupilots recommended components but want to find alternatives, not only for on board control but for long range communication command and control too. The control loop with Odrive and motor is not the best in price option too for the application, but using it now for testing as I had it on hand.

Edit: Just found 10 min later https://hackaday.io/project/191044-a-risc-v-hc-12-433mhz-serial-bridge This is why this place is amazing haha, perfect idea for remote communication, some type of implementation like this is the idea with control too https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/projects/gps-transmission-with-the-hc-12-transmitter/  . Later versions I'd like to implement vision to send back to base station too.
