My goal is to make a standard RC Car controller into something more usable for quadriplegics.

The idea is to replace the small delicate joysticks of the stock controller. Using larger and more durable joysticks . I would like to spread them out some and mount them on a panel that could be attached to a wheelchair.
I do not know enough about electronics to deal with the proportional aspect of joysticks. I need to find a single axis joystick that is compatible with the stock controller. A small enough switch that would fit in the mouth for biting that could control acceleration might also be great.
Many quadriplegics are capable of driving their power wheelchairs , with a medium-sized joystick. I am just looking for some electronic advice and resources. Any assistance with this project would be greatly appreciated. I hope to be able to share some fun things with my handicapped friends.
Click on industrial. Click on single axis joysticks.
