turning radius help!!

[scooby61]

I just got a 5 at xmas and have got the motor broken in. But I'm noticing that this truck takes an acre to turn around. With the servo arm centered and end points as far out as I can without binding the steering link hits the servo case. I'm nowhere near full lock and have more right than left. Any solution for tighter turns? Longer servo arm maybe? That would give more range but increase servo stress. Any help appreciated.

Normally I would say to check the end-points on the transmitter.
Sounds like the linkage is catcing 'though.
Might be easier if you put some photos up.

What's wrong is the servo saver is loose the blue ring on it needs tightened up one or two turns

Tap talk said it could not make a post but it did and I reposted it and tried to delete this one it would not let me

I was talking about the overall throw my servo saver is tight. Just on the bench I still can't get full lock or even close because through linkage end hits the servo case

In one direction or both
Also move servo bolt to stop hitting or go to cap head screw to clear servo

i experienced the same thing using a Savox 236 with the servo horn hitting the side of the servo.you could try a longer servo arm maybe?idk

Get rid of the front sway bar. You see a difference in your turning radius.

I may be late in trying to help, but the servo arm doesn't sit "center"with the servo. Like an 8th scale buggy, the servo arm is parallel with the bell crank (the servo arm kinda points to the left rear tire at "center"). I know the bolt that holds the arm between the servo arm and drag link goes nut up. If that is wrong it hits. I think I had to set my end points to keep the servo from wanting to over travel.
