Default Why do my Hitec servos have more travel than my Futaba's

I was doing a speed test with a Fut 148 and Hitec 425 "racing" on channel 5 using a y harness. I noticed the 148 always beat the 425 but looking closer I noticed the 425 was rotating farther than the 148

I cranked up the ATV to120% and found that the 148 will only travel about 120deg end to end and the 425 traveled about 160deg end to end (by eye). Why does the 425 travel farther

Seems good for 3D planes with large throws.
