As soon as i read this I had to try it.... I'm so excited... (sec.)

Your wrong.
:(
I added a motor, clicked it into my RPM-o-Meter and just nudged the
stick a tinsy-tiny little bit....
NOTHING!
then I smooched it just a c-hair more.............
FULL ON, 360 RPM (for a standard lego geared motor)
I pushed it all the way up....
360 RPM.
sorry Trevyn. maybe you have the "special" lego RC racer. cause i sure
don't.

(notice the wink)
(i also tried the proportional speed idea with the Aux output and the
same result.)
Calum, you asked this:

my suggestion is to either make a front steer robot, OR use an adder
subtracter.... you could even do a battery box always ON for the
forward motion, and use the RH steer to add/subtrack to make the skid
steer system turn. who need reverse. that would free up 2 outs to
make a hammer and cross bow.
