I have not use Victor,I have use Speed Controllers from parallax.com
You should download the RC and OI manuals from IFI. Based on where you have the joysticks plugged into, your speed controllers should be plugged into pwm1, pwm2, pwm5, pwm6. It looks like you have them in pwm13, pwm14, pwm15, pwm16.

Your joysticks should be wired per the analog inputs in the OI manual. For each axis - one side of 100k linear pot to an analog input pin , center to +5vdc aux pin, other side not connected.

It looks like your joysticks are not centered. The OI LEDs for pwm1 and pwm2 should be on green and red to indicate neutral.

Last, check the compatibility of the paralax speed controllers to the output from the RC pwm signals.

Good luck,
