To by knowledge, doesn't Victor calibration involves moving from 0, then back and forth between -1 and 1, then back to 0 to identify maximum forward, maximum reverse, and neutral? I can't quite see how they would be recalibrated to 1 fd, 0 rev, and -1 neutral.

This sounds more like a code issue to me, though I can't see for the life of me how it's happening.
