I cant drive my chair even remotely under any semblence of control if I cannot hold (cup) the joystick pod with my palm. And use that as a solid reference point to allow my thumb and forefinger to accurately position the joystick. I cannot stress how important this is. I realise that many have difficulty with control of hands and fingers but even so try to make it as close to this as possible. Only then will control be possible.
So the joystick needs to be higher, and further inboard where you hand or wrist naturally falls with your arm on the armrest. And not rested on the arm top, with just fingers or hand holding that ball. Because that will make control with the sort of accurate programming you have already configured impossible.
watch ONLY my hand, and fingers here. The HAND being the important part. The joystick has a 3 inch gap between the arm top, and the plastic housing. Is 3 inches inboard of the centreline of the arm. And high enough to make this position possible and comfortable. Without this proper control is simply impossible.

Move it somewhere more to your liking.

of course it pissing down with rain now and i have to take her shopping before i can give it a proper test drive,the what was sounding slow brake seems fine now and all i did was clean it and fit new soldered terminals and 2 new andersons for the motor wires and one for the battery connection so if it behaves now we shall be very happy and sorted till after the xmas hols then i shall try find another vr2 brain and or a vsi as i prefer that,is there a good reason for having brain and jsm seperate? i see only downsides as twice as much space taken and brain is in such a position as to be closer to any water and debris seems daft having it that low to me.
anyhow thanks again for the help and bless you i hope i can repay the kindness one day,peace need

If you let it dry a hose pipe and a quick rinse will not do it. No amount of rewetting quite gets it all off. So it dries looking dirty. It then is a pig to clean properly without stripping it down. So best rinse it the moment you are home and before you go in. With the hose that you left out ready...
