The radio control receiver is on a nice tiny board that is surprisingly well labeled. Since there are two motors to control in this car, there are two fully-reversible motor drivers. On the minus side, the board uses "chip on board" (the main "smarts" are a a bare chip under that black plastic blob), so some of the modifications possible on receivers with identifiable chips and pins aren't possible here.)

(It would be nice to have pictures of the transmitter as well. Sorry...)
