i'm thinking of ways to take advantage of the low cost hobby radios but still give my drivers a chance to simulate controls more similar to something we might build during the regualr season.
Sure this will work. Just make sure the pots in the joysticks are the same value as the ones in the transmitter. If you need some more specifics or anything IM me post here or send me an email.
