CAD
Joystick Balls (handle)
Onshape (make a copy of the model to make custom sizes!)
Joystick Holder
PVC Tees
Joystick holder for adjustible arms
Add a heatset insert to give this a threaded connection https://www.mcmaster.com/93365A160/
Connect this joystick holder to the end of an adjustible arm (like for photography or holding a machinist’s dial indicator)
This method of connecting a joystick works well for “bumper-car” style cars.
GBG-PCB
A circuit board for making joystick cars without any soldering
