Any thoughts?
Here, I'll save you some time. Sounds like your servo horn might be too long, the angle or your server spacer blocks are not right. Alot of stuff effects the travel. If you don't have the stock servo horns, they are hard to get for a TC3, but I think the TC5 ones are the same size, just "beefier." Also, Losi XXX-S, JRXS, and JRXS-R steering knuckles bolt right in and give you a longer arm to attach the steering tie rods to if you want to limit it that way. Lastly, the total amount of kick-up and castor you are running also has a small effect on the steering travel.
