I have NEVER had a Victor require Recalibration -- in 4 years!

IT IS ALMOST CERTAINLY NOT CALIBRATION!

If your motors are getting tired it is probably because you are using the Keyang motors and they have a breaker inside of them that cuts the voltage when the motors get too hot.

Check the lights on the Victor. If when you give them full gas, you see a green LED and when you go full reverse you get a red LED, then it is very likely that the Victors are working just fine.

Your will have relax your driving style or get a better ratio on your motors or find some other way to keep your motors from overheating.

Call me if you have continued problems --- Don't forget to read the message titled "DON'T RECALIBRATE YOUR VICTORS!"

I MEAN IT!
