Default Futaba 4PL almost no steering response

I've just installed my new get up. A Viper VTX10 with a Savox 1258TG servo. All I have is full forward throttle, no reverse, and about 1/4" of front wheel movement.

ANY help, please

The steering stops and steering pot on this radio is very weak, sounds like the stops have broken and the steering pot has failed.

try zeroing out all of your trims and d/r (dual rate) rebind radio then reprogram the speedy.

What number should the D/R be? And what does it do? Sorry guys, you can see I'm trying to learn this wonderful (?) radio/transmitter.
