Default Steering angle

I have had my scx10 for a while now and I never noticed but, my steering angle sucks. I have a hard time making turns while out driving. Is this normal? Would anything short of high steer knuckles help? Such as a longer servo horn to effectively increase the "throw" of the steering? Is it just my servo? This is as far as it turns. Also, it turns further left than right, how come?

Thanks guys!

What radio and servo are you using? Where is the steering EPA set?

Ha ha, that might be part of my problem. My radio doesn't have adjustable epa.

I dont want to look like a smart aleck but is the bottom linkage hitting the axle housing before the c-hubs hit the axle?

No, The servo stops turning before any linkage hits.
This is the servo I am using:

Step 1 set epa
Step 2 make a longer drag link and connect to passenger knuckle. With that short drag link its causing serious bump steer
Step 3 longer servo horn
Step 4 this is the most important. Ensure ur servo is mounted securly.. looks like only 1 of the 2 available slots are holding it on.
I'm willing to bet ur servo rocks side to side when you turn. And wedging ur esc in ther isn't exactly a good idea..
Step 5 3link w/ panhard.. that will eliminate all bump steer and that annoying only steers this much one way and that much the other.
