Default Using servo tester to control esc project help please

Hi, I'm trying to directly control an esc and motor, using a tester. Supplying 5v, everything's good, I can adjust signal to esc.
But what I would like to do, is use the tester to set the gain of the esc, and use another doo-dad as the control.
This is all going in a power wheels type thing. Ill use the tester as a governor, or master adjustment.
It's all worked out except the Doo-dad that will be for input, or an actual throttle .
Can I use another rheostat to vary the input, no, because that would vary my 5v, right??
Any ideas
