I don't think they had the wireless remote options we do now in the 80s.

Also both the batteries and motors were garbage back then. It definitely wouldn’t have fit in his ass without sticking out like a stiff turd.

Especially in those undies they wore.

Radio waves, tho..

The first mobile telephone was in the 40s using radio.. that’s plenty of time for more niche adaptations.. not saying they did happen, only that they could have. The battery pack or generator would be huge (which is why they were in cars).

But ring a number for a bum jingle, why not?
