How can I add wireless functionality to a simple electric motor? (lemmy.ca)

I have one of those basic motor kits you can buy off of Amazon. I was wondering what steps I should take to make it so that I can turn the motor on/off with the press of a button, wirelessly.

I'm still very new, so any information you can offer no matter how basic will probably be useful to me.

You can use rc kits, hobby stores will have relatively simple systems designed for custom rc cars that you can plug and play

In the same vein you can always find alert cheap rc cars at your local second hand store, goodwill has em for afew dollars and you can scavenge whatever you want

These days though I prefer an esp32 or an arduino with a Bluetooth shield, much easier to work with
