I have a SCX10 with Hand Bros servo relocator, and I'm having complications with the steering. Full left is allowed, but going full right, it doesn't go all the way. I checked the radio (2.4ghz 3pm) and everything is set perfect. This is however my first crawler, so maybe I built it wrong. I actually think it is maybe the servo. I don't have any servos around, so I used an old Digital Traxxas 2070 servo. Not enough torque huh? its rated at 125 oz.

did you make sure to center the servo before mounting the horn?

Also make sure the horn isn't hitting the frame as it will be close.

when the rc is off, I can manual steer it and there is no binding whatsoever. Its probably due to the geometry of the new linkages.

I built my own frame mount and I am using the stock TR servo and I get a little more triw one way than the other. I think the reason is the internal limiting from turning anymore.

I just finished installing the hand bros kit on my SCX10. I didn't have full left steering when I completed the build. After playing around with a few things, I found I needed to shorten the drag link. Perhaps if you are not getting full right steering you may need a longer drag link. If your servo is a ful 90 degrees and you still aren't hitting the driver side steering knuckle on the axle housing you probably should try a longer drag link.
