Default Servo Question

Okay so recently I reset all of my electronics (fxr and dx3r). And now I do not have as much turning radius as before. Before my tires could easily hit my shocks now they are a good 1/4" from touching. So first question would be, when you first turn on your esc the point at which your servo goes to is that 0? So when I turn on the truck the servo does it's thing, then when I turn on my radio it goes to 0. Now I have not adjusted my trim on the radio at all! I just simple turned on the esc then turned on the radio and then put the servo horn on. So I tried doing it the opposite way too. Turned on the esc put the servo horn on and then turned on the tx. So when I went to trim it this way I did not eve have enough adj. to get it to 0. I don't know kind of at a loss right now on what I am suppose to do, any advice would be great. TIA!

Shouldn't the transmitter be turned on first?

Yeah your right. So when the tx is turned on first then the esc is the point that the servo goes to 0?

If you turn on the radio, and set the servo trim to the middle(which should be your "zero" that you are refering to) it should be centered. If the servo horn is off to one side, then take it off and center it on the splined shaft. Then you can adjust throws/travel. Hope that helps.
