Yes, most come with a dummy transmitter that looks and acts like a real RC transmitter even though they are just fancy joysticks
Or you can use your own transmitter that plugs into your computer with a special trainer end/USB end cord
Seems it would be hard to learn when it’s flying back to you, how your turns are opposite the way going out. I never was good at that with those remote cars you could buy cheap from Radio Shack. .
