What Tx are are you running bud?
If you can try wacking the travel adjust (end points) up on the throttle channel. Check that you sub trim is on zero and get rid of any expo you might have on that channel.
Let us know how you get on.

If its a Hl set up. I had this prob on one of mine..Its the cheap esc neutral point isn't set properly, you will never be able to set it as it is. The only way round it is a new Rx18 and hope that one is ok.
if it is an after market hand set. Then just go into the menu and adjust and all will be good.

The other thing you could do it. Pop the wires out of the connector blocks on both trim pots and swop them over for a test. If its just the pot then its a nice easy fix.
