Am i right? i have been trying to reduce the speed , there is no way to gear it down , and i don't think i can reduce the speed of the relays can i ? i am talking about the EDU motors , we are not sure what to do as the servo we have is just too fast and uncontrollable

Okay, this changes things a bunch. The EduRobot motors are not servos at all. Servos have potentiometers and mechanical stops. The Edu Motors do not. You should be plugging the motors into the PWM outputs on the controller, not the relay outputs. Then, the default code will run them at variable speed according to how you move the joystick. Treat the Edu Motors just as you would a normal DC motor hooked up to a PWM speed control. The only difference is that the speed control is internal in the Edu Motors.
<edit>It is okay to plug the motors into the relay outputs but you will only get the maximum speed like you described</edit>
