Seems this bug has reared its ugly head again: Applying a remote dynamite, dropping it and pressing the red button on an RC controller does not cause it to explode. As an observation, an active remote bomb has a charge value of 1, after pressing the red button, the value changes to 0 however it never actually explodes on its own. Picking up the 0 charge active remote dynamite and applying it will cause it to immediately explode in your hands.
The same is true for RC car mounted explosives.

My fault.
Found the bug and sent a fix. I sent it with a bigger PR, so it may take a while for it to get merged. If it’s important, I can isolate the fix and send it separately.

Thanks to you and all the devs as always. The new remote detonator item looks like a great addition, much more intuitive than having to build radio bombs from the crafting menu.
