I'm using a USB Host Shield 2.0 from:
http://www.circuitsathome.com/products-page/arduino-shields/usb-host-shield-2-0-for-arduino. I will be minimizing from the Uno and the USB Host in the near future.
I started with the USB Host library:
https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0 and
http://barrettsprojects.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/driving-an-rc-car-with-a-ps3-controller/.
Here is my work in progress. It is throttle only at this time. I'm coding an activation sequence next, before adding lights. You will have to clean up the code yourself, but throttle is functional. I want the throttle settings just right before coding add-ons. Caveat: reverse cuts out at max, forward is beautiful.
