Continuous Rotation Servo Speed

Hi everyone. Just a quick question. How do I adjust the speed of the continuous rotation servo speeds? I have followed the video tutorial of DJs Boxbot, and I have tried to adjust the forward and reverse values but it made no difference. The servos are the ones supplied with the dev kit. Cheers, Steve.
