Default Is there a correct way to set EPA on a servo?

Hello,

I was wanting to know if there is a "correct" way to set the EPA on my steering servo, in my Wraith? I'm running a Hitec servo with a Spektrum DX3C radio. I did some searching and couldn't find anything. I currently have the end points set so there's no binding or struggle from the servo - and no buzzing sounds from the servo when I steer full left or full right. Just wondering if I could get more steer, if there's a procedure for setting the end points.

Thanks for the help and input - much appreciated!

Usually what I do, is start with the epa set set really low cut the steering all the way one way and work it up until the steering knuckle starts to make contact, then back it off one or two steps, then do the same for the other side.

I come from a racing side. You need to make sure that your throw at high speed does not throw the knuckle into the arm or whatever it may hit. Also when you are binding up with it turned all the way you need to have the EPA backed off from full lock so it can hold the knuckle off the arm or whatever when being pulled farther out
