Default Wide xr mod question

I'm trying to get the steering finished up on this truck but it's not wanting to work with me. I can't seem to get it to steer full left and full right. I can get one or the other and about 75% on the other side. Any suggestions?

Did you adjust your end points on your remote?

Longer servo arm?

The angle from the steering arm on the knuckle to the servo is extreme. Try to set up the servo/horn so that the link is more parallel to the axle and that will give you the best geometry and most even throw. I had the same issue and ended up flipping the servo and horn to get the link to line up.

Can't tell if those are the classic or scale Wraith knuckles....if classic you can use a longer arm on the knuckle to get it to give you more torque and more throw.

Try starting from the beginning, take the drag link and tie rod out of the picture by taking them off. Double check that your knuckles are getting full rotation and go from there. Watch the steering action closely to see where the binding is coming from. There is equal throw to both sides so there's contact somewhere.

This right here. Flip the servo so the output is further back, orient the horn facing forward, and shorten the drag link. You should have plenty of throw to get the job done.
