Default RC18T steering problem

I just recently bought an RC18T Factory Team kit. I just installed an HS-56 servo into it, but I'm having problems. The screw holding the steering drag ling to the servo saver bellcrank is hitting the top of the servo case, limiting the steering. Does anyone know a fix for this, or is it normal? It seems like the wheels should turn a lot more. Thanks for any help.

I run this servo and noticed the same thing. You can do one of two things that i know of. You and either ground down the case a little and try not to go too deep. Or I've even hear of some people taking a hs-55 case and putting the karbonite gears from the 65 in the 55 case. I dont worry about it personally i just bash so the loss of steering isnt that much that im concerned. Hope one of them works for ya

I cut a little off the drag link to allow the screw to come in more. It now clears the servo and I have 100% steering. I would have let it go, but I'm dropping a lot of money into this little thing and I'd like it to perform at its best. I have a Mamba Competition X coming in the mail soon. I would have it already if Tower didn't screw up my order and send me the wrong Mamba package. I'll get some pics when I'm done, I think you guys will like what I did with the body.
