BTW - if this is the incorrect forum, please advise and or move.

Regards,
Your best bet would be to check all the local adds, like Facebook, Craigslist, and eBay. See if someone is selling a broken RC with the same remote. Tonka, and the other toy brand RC's, only use 2 to 3 different frequencies (MHZ). See what yours is and go from there. You can upgrade to an aftermarket system, but that will cost more than the car is worth.
