Discussion:
Reversed drive operation.

I have a machine, all works well. Except.....
Drive is being controlled by the steering and steering by the throttle twist.
Is there a setting that needs to be changed?
Do I need a hand control to fix the issue?
I'm guessing it's not a wiring issue as it's all done by the can bus.

Thank you.

All sorted. R/H drive motor was wired incorrectly internally. Swapped the cables at the controller +/-.
After laying in bed thinking about it, it made sense as the drive was slow (steering speed) and the turning was fast (drive speed).

Well there is still a steering pot and a traction pot. Could their connectors have been switched? It's been awhile since I've had trouble with one so I don't remember the connector type but it wouldn't hurt to check. if you put your email in your profile I might have a wiring diagram I can send you
