Default Not getting enough steering throw..

My scorpion seems to turn great right, but lacks turning left. I've adjusted my steering trim to zero (Dx3.0) and I have a metal servo horn on a Hitec 645MG servo. I have both my end points set to max, and there is still room for the steering to move before the knuckles hit the phillips screws. I'm thinking that my servo is limiting my steering right now, but I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue at all.

if you search in this forum a little there is a thread that was about this exact problem. cant remember who it was but i think it was solved. maybe they will chime in on it. What servo are you using?

what kind of servo do you have? my 645mg hitec did this, but my 5645 doesnt. i had to bend the steering arm so it wouldnt hit the pumpkin. now i can go lock to lock.

I have the 645MG. It almost seems the servo is the factor. If I had a horn that was a little longer, I could maybe go lock to lock. I might slap in a different servo from one of my nitros to see how it works.

I got the problem fixed. My default value on my DX3.0 for STG was at 70%. I put it to 100% and I'm good now. Thanks to the fellow who told me about it!
