The ESCs we use we program the centre and end-points into, so the transmitter does not need anything.

I quickly realised it was a good guess to start with a broken controller as I need to make a PCB matching the original in size and some part locations, but as said above, when I am done measuring and PCB-ing, you are probably better of buying the few PS4 parts required new. So I bought a broken second hand controller for 10 bucks and took it apart. I didn’t, because I wanted to check out a real controller first, determine what to re-use and then set up the project. If you want to build something similar to what I am making, I recommend to buy the parts you need new from Ali and be done with it. Hey, there’s an idea… I have seen many Arduino RC controller projects on YouTube, using nrf24l01 modules, so why wouldn’t I give this a go? First I searched AliExpress for controller bits and bobs and believe me, there are tons. And I can tell you, we have many rainy days in the Netherlands, so my kids get tons of practice using PS4 controllers, more than using an RC car transmitter. They rather play with the PS4 we bought for rainy days. So far, they are interested but not for a longer time. I race RC cars and hope my kids want to, too. Here’s the idea, story, what ever you want to call it. This will be a longer project with a lot of guidance required, but I hope I can finish it before spring when we want to go outsite again and race RC cars.
