So I guess RC servos/motors are regular servo motors and DC motors that
have been stripped from RC cars? Are they any diferent from regular
servo/DC motors? If not, then why lable them as "RC"? Since the RF
component isn't there anymore...  :-/

So am I correct to assume that an RC motor had a built in RF reciever?


Well, that's partially correct. The RC cars usually have a
speed control/ steering module that incorporates the RF receiver.
This module supplies PWM signals to the drive motor and also
controls a steering servomotor.

What does "RC" stand for anyway? I don't think it's Radio Control...is it?


I believe that's correct: Radio Controlled devices, RC devices.
