Question Simple/Auto Pairing Controllers?

Hi! New to these forums. I'm looking for an RC car (roughly ~1/12 size) with a remote that auto-pairs -- what I mean by that is, if the car is turned off and on again, or the batteries are replaced in the remote, it will still know which car it's meant to drive and the car itself (assuming it's on) doesn't need to be touched for the remote to find it again.

Is there such a thing? If so, what keywords should I search for when shopping for a car online to narrow it down to cars that have this feature?

(More detailed explanation: I'm using the RC car as part of a game I've created, and it's crucial that players can gain access to the remote but NOT the car. This all falls apart with the car I bought to test: if they drop the remote and the batteries get jiggled around, it wants to re-pair and it won't do that unless they have access to the car as well.)

Thanks so much!

Pretty much any old style crystal radio would do what you want. They stay paired to the same receiver unless you change crystals. Something like this..http://www.ebay.com/itm/Airtronics-7...QAAOSwjDZYinrZ
If there's more than one car running at the same time they have to be on different channels.
