Some equipment you'll need is a motor controller of some kind.  You can use a microcontroller and hook it to an H-Bridge if it is DC.

By remote I'm taking it as being wireless in some way.  You will need a reciever for the remotes signals, which will be connected to the microcontroller.  If it is not wireless, then hook it straight up to the microcontroller.

I do believe it is possible to make just an electronic circuit, but I am unsure of what types of remotes and such you are using.  If the remote is wired, then you can take a look at something Knex puts out.  Wireless is going to be a good deal more difficult.
