Tank Controls
JODY:
Anyone seen any assault / tank game controls besides the Oscar hack?
Kremmit:
You could grab two of these:

Only $198.80 each!
No, really, you could get just the grip parts from those sticks, they're ambidexterous, and work great as tank handles, like on Cybersled:
Click the "mounting and exploded views" button to get the part #s, and put them into the search function on the Happ site to get the pricing.
You'd still have to figure out how to hack 'em to 4-way stick bases. I think they could be done the same way people have mounted Tron grips onto regular stick bases- Here's an old thread where 1UP added Tron handles to regular stick bases- the pictures are gone but the text is still there.

sodapopinski:
anything that costs 200$ american(i'm a canadian) is too much for a 4-way. can't you hack a cheaper yoke?
JODY:
I also found some very nice looking handles last night on the net used on commercial machinery that can be purchased separately. Probably too much money, but I'll try to get pricing on that too in case they are reasonable. There are many configuration options available.
Hoagie_one:
$13 juar for the two sides of the handle...not including shipping or the hardware.
