| EPAs
Hope this is not too stupid a question but: Do you need EPAs if your servos always reach the limit of their movement before your steering locks out? In other words - if a servo reaches it natural limit on its own , do you still need EPAs? I'm running TP MG945s and a modded TQ3. |

I dont see why you would but then again, I always have to turn down the EPA's on mine a little at least. I dont want my servos to bind what so ever.

In the past, I've always played with the linkage so the servo stopped just before the knuckles bound. Not a problem yet. Then again, this can be tricky, and you're probably losing a small advantage. But I'm cheap. Then again, I do plan on adding EPAs to my TQ3 at some point. |

I thought about putting the EPAs on my TQ3 but then I thought, if I don't need to, why bother |

Since you're maxing out the servo travel before you're maxing out the c's and axles, I'd say you're fine. You may be losing a few degrees of travel, but I don't see that being a huge deal.

| I've got about 3mm of play after the servo maxes out - cerrtainly not enough to lose sleep over!
