Remote control and Xbee

I am just exploring xbee and know nothing. I am wanting to make a large RC vehicle (similar to Power wheels) hands free. Can xbee be coupled to an existing receiver and servos? I am assuming that xbee can somehow control larger loads (20-40 amps). I don't need speed control, or sensors at this juncture but can Xbee be programmed to command turns, change in directions etc? Also a reccomendation on a good book on using Xbee would be appreciated. From everything I have seen on the Net the Xbee has been used for lighter loads. Thanks in advance.

    An xbee is a radio that transmits information to another xbee they are not programmed like micro-controllers and would need additional hardware on both ends to accomplish what you are asking for.
