I'm making a steering wheel with adruino leonardo. For my throttle and brake I wanted to use these two cheap chinese pedal from Alibaba. These pedal has 3 wires: 5v, negative pole, signal line. If I connect these instead of like how the potentiometer is connected will it work? Or how I can make these work?
Do you have such pedal in hand? - or any documentation for it?

- Using a DMM, confirm if the pedals are simple potentiometers.

The controller is not a power supply. Remove the connection to the 5 volt pin and get a proper 5 volt power supply.
Powering pots is okey but not motors, transmitters, etc.

No but I saw people using it on different project.
like this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR_rcnc2bj4
and a post: Hall Sensor Throttle & Brake pedals for RC car - #18 by Railroader
but I don't understand this . I'm completely new on this field.
And what you expecting from the forum? If you don't understand the simplest diagram from Railroader's link - how you hope to fulfil your project that a way more complicated ?

Welcome! This is a very ambisious project even for somebody with some experience. I highly recommend you get the Arduino Cookbook and read it cover to cover before going any further with this project. Also do some tutorials on basic electronics.

I just wanted to know that will it work if I connect these pedal like picture ? I completed the steering wheel part and it is working. I'm following a video from youtube 
but the pedal part will take a lot of time bcoz of it mechanics.
It depends not only on connections, but on your code and your experience.
Is the code compatible with pedals? Why there are a three pots on your diagram, and how you intended replace it with only two pedals?

Someone already did the code and made a software. These 3 pots are for brake, accel and clutch. I'm not gonna use the clutch that's why I'm using just 2 pedals .
This is the video i'm following and he explained it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crdDhvhBG0M
