well basically the car is a mugen mbx5 the servo is an ace 1015
what the problem is is when the car is on and i turn right the steeing is amazing like 1-2 metre turning circle max but when i turn left it is 5-6+ metre turning circle i no i can turn down turning right on my speckturm to even it up but is there anyay of adjusting either sevro saver or linkages to enable me to get both to do somwhere in the middle say 3-4 metre turning circle. its just the servo doenst seem to pull back enough.
when the car the radio is turned of i use my hand to turn the wheels the servo moves far back and i can tell there is nothing blocking any part form moving that far.
all help appreciated

What radio are you using? Take the servo horn off but your trim and if you have it sub trim to zero. Then put the horn on where it is centered. All so if you have endpoint check it.

Hey Adz!
Does the entire linkage move as far as it could go if moved by hand? If so then the servo should wind around that far so...hmm is there anything stopping it?
The servo arm rubbing off anything even the stoneguards?

i have been looking around all the parts and nothing seems to be rubbing or hittting the sotne gurad has few mm between it and servo arm so its not a problem.

I had problems with that servo. Need to use a aluminum servo horn.
I ended up taking it off because it would not return to center in the same spot all of the time.
