Typically...

Brushless motors along with an H-Bridge can drive the car forwards and reverse with software control via PWM control signal.

Steering uses a servo to move the from wheel to steer.

You'll need a remote control, perhaps using WiFi to control the car.

I realize this doesn't seem very helpful, but it does break down some of the pieces of making your car work so you can now search the forums for each pieces.

Good luck
