The joystick X-axis is + to the right. So your code should be

Code:
front_Left = -mainJoy.getY() + rotJoy.getX() + mainJoy.getX()
front_Right = -mainJoy.getY() - rotJoy.getX() - mainJoy.getX()

back_Left = -mainJoy.getY() + rotJoy.getX() - mainJoy.getX()
back_Right = -mainJoy.getY() - rotJoy.getX() + mainJoy.getX()
