I have blizzard SR a sabertooth and no matter how I hook up the motors and reverse the channels it goes faster in reverse. I still have the stock motors and just use the right sick for turning andI have the stock controller. What am I missing?

Try switching the throttle to the other stick, this would rule out an issue with the pot on the stick you are currently using.

I finally figured out my problem. I needed to recalibrate the sabertooth to my controller. I believe it was with the 5th dip switch.

Yeah dip switch #5 seems to cause many problems!! I always tinker with that if I have any issues.

I also just found that with the sabertooth, trimming in one direction or the other will bias the top speed to that direction. Try bumping the trim lever towards forward and see if that helps.
