I mostly used this basic Arduino based RC controller for testing purposes but it is a cheap way to quickly get control over an RC vehicle so I’m sharing the library here. The controller consists of an Arduino Uno with a Joystick shield and an NRF24L01 radio module, all of which simply plug into each other without requiring an additional wiring. The controller works fine but is a little awkward to use and isn’t the most comfortable controller which is why I only really use it when I’ve run out of normal controllers.

This code should work with my RC vehicle library which can be found here.
