Default Getting more steering out of Savage .25, How

I want to get a tighter turning radius out of my savage.I want it to turn sharper than it is. It gets maximum range allowed now and I have upgraded the steering servo. But is there a way to get more staeering. I know on the Revo there are 2 tabs you can file down and get a tighter turning radius. Anything like this on the savage?

stiffer suspension (springs)
faster as well as stronger steering servo
lower profile tires (less tire roll from soft sidewalls)

Turn your tx and rx on and make sure you really are getting full steering lock side to side with the wheels on the ground. But there aren't any shortcuts I've heard of like filing down some tabs.

shave off some of the steering block that touches the hub at full lock, afterwards at full lock the inner edge of the wheel will touch the shocks at full lock
