There are a few differences. Radio controls use radio waves and reach a longer distance. Remote controls usually use infrared or bluetooth and are usually for only short distances.

Remote control means (roughly speaking) remotely controlling a device using something that is not part of the device itself. The controlling device can be attached to the device using a wire or wires to transmit controlling signals. It can also be unattached with control signals being transmitted using radio signals, or light waves (infrared, ultraviolet). A more sophisticated device can also use standard network communication protocols along wires or WIFI or Bluetooth for communication and control.

Radio control is remote control using radio transmission.

Can you control radio waves controlled equipment with the help of an infrared source?

If I understand the question correctly, you're basically asking if you can use an infrared remote instead of a radio remote to control a radio controlled device.Let me say that again: radio controlled device.No, you cannot. If you're an electronics engineer, you could probably substitute some kind of IR receiver for the radio circuitry, and then you'd be able to control it with your infrared remote. But at that point, it would no longer be a radio controlled device.

What is RC car?

Radio-controlled (or R/C) cars are self-powered model cars that can be controlled from a distance using a specialized transmitter. The term "R/C" has been used to mean both "remote controlled" and "radio controlled", where "remote controlled" includes vehicles that are connected to their controller by a wire, but common use of "R/C" today usually refers to vehicles controlled by a radio-frequency link.
