6' circles are a bit too large....go for 4' circles. On my Eurus, the steering balance %'s are at 70 left & right.

Once your servo is centered (usually your servo saver is a spline off so you straighten it up with your radios SUBTRIM), steering links are the same length, then start looking at turning your steering %'s down on your radio. That way, when you start messing with TRIM settings the left & right are affected equally. With the KO Eurus, and with the 'steering-balance' set at 100%, my turning circles were at the most 2 feet. That's WAYY too small....70% with the steering balance gave me perfect 4' circles left/right
