How does this NOT have more views?! I’m going to go try this method right now. I will report back! Edit: Used this method last night, and it worked! Now you need to understand that not only was our controller drifting, it was hard left while at rest. Blew out the controller with compressed air, and used some ISP on the potentiometer exactly as in the video. Thank you so much for saving me $70! Earned a sub for sure!
