Mechanically ill agree with you, but when it comes to control while using a victor speed controller ill have to disagree. The way you get the joystick to go all the way to "complete 255 and 0" is by calibrating the victor. I cant stress it enough to teams that you can not just connect random joysticks to the OI and get a full range of change at the victor speed controllers. Though if you calibrate your victors to joysticks you can get a full range of change. Also each time you change your joysticks or victors you should recalibrate the victors.

[edit] For those insterested, calibration instructions are in the Victor 884 User Manual. [/edit]
