Futaba 3PM-X steering issue

[blue devil toyota]

Here is my set up

Futaba 3PM-X radio
Hitec 7950-th servo

Using my servo Programmer I can get the servo to move the full throw.
Using the radio with end points set at 120% the servo won't move the same distance as the programmer.

How can I get the servo to move the full throw with the radio?

Thanks,
Bernie

Sorry man but I don't know anything about the programmer. There is nothing special that the radio can be doing different. The only thing the radio can do is set direction (via channel reversing) and end points.

It really has nothing to do with the programmer other than the programmer tells me I have enough throw in the servo. The problem is when I go full left or full right with the radio the servo does not travel as far. Once again end points are at 120%. Is there a way to program the radio with no end points? I can program the end points with my programmer if needed.

I have the same problem, with any of my transmitters. I think the problem is the programmer puts out the absolute maximum signal whereas the radio only puts out a limited one even on 120%. The simple solution is to set your EPAs a little high on the programer and then adjust till it's perfect with the radio. So far that's worked well with me.

I'll try to just clear the end points then with the programmer.

No, the programmer IS the problem. There is nothing a radio can do other than sending the maximum value for the servo to turn. This is a Hitec problem not a radio problem.

Just set them a little high, so that you get full travel when used with the radio.

Hmm, in a way it is neither problem really, it is only due to a difference in the signals produced between the two.

The radio puts out the industry standard pulse width, that is simply all it can do. It is Hitec who is trying to manipulate that differently than normal. Therefore if you have the EPA's set to the max there is nothing else the radio can do and it is completely the problem of the Hitec.

i have the same radio, servo, and programmer. i have had zero problems. i get full lock on my axial bta. so i am with Harley here, its the servo...
