Thanks.
Sven,
This is such a prevalent misconception, I included it in my mythbuster presentation on robot electrical. Everyone needs to understand that the speed controllers are not calibrated when you receive them. If they were you would get matched controllers and joysticks and would be instructed as to which controller you must use for each joystick axis.

ALWAYS CALIBRATE SPEED CONTROLLERS. RECALIBRATE ANYTIME YOU CHANGE CONTROLLERS OR JOYSTICKS.
