Going to build my first Rover

Hi everyone,

I've spent a few days doing research as I would like to build my own personal rover, I looked into APM a lot but read that Rover 3.0.0 firmware has been released and is no longer supported on APM. What I will be doing is just writing a quick list what I think is required and if I'm missing anything please point it out. I've never owned a proper "Electric RC Car", I have however spent a few thousand dollars on a number of Multicopters, with FPV goggles and a Taranis controller. I have used both DJI Naza and Naze32 flight controllers.

What I think I need:
•A RC Vehicle (HSP 1/8 Crawler)
•Pixhawk Contoller + GPS
•Flysky Receiver to work with Taranis

Is it actually really simple to setup, connect everything together and flash the Rover Firmware, or is there a lot more to it?

I personally live on a 125acre property and would like to roam around and eventually put a camera on board. I would really appreciate it if someone can point me a good direction!
