Not getting full through on servo

Im not getting full through on my servo. When the power is turned on I'm able to turn the wheels alot more than when I turn the wheel on my controller. I have a Spektrum servo 6040 Spektrum DX3.0 controller with matching rec. I have reset me epa to 125% but I still dont get the full capacity of the servo. What am I missing?

Make sure the steering dual rate is turned up all the way.

Is the servo horn long enough?

Thanks Dave, it was the dual rate.....guess I learn something about this hobby everyday. Thanks

Good to hear you got it going. I didn't have time to explain earlier, my kid has a 1st gen DX3.0 that came with the dual rate set to 70%, which tripped me up too. Odd as we have other Spektrums that came at 100%.

Regardless, nothing to do with my guess, thanks for the follow up. I think it's helpful for everybody to learn the outcome on trouble shooting threads like this.

Cheers
