I was able to get some more throw out of the servo last night by extending the EPA to 150% (R) and 125% (L). It was at 100% previously.

I installed the servo saver per the manual, one tooth (5*) to the left with the servo in neutral. I built the servo turnbuckle with a 4.5mm gap, like the manual recommends.

I read earlier in this thread where someone else went from a Savox 1258 to a 1251 and had the same lack of throw problem.

All of my other models have 1258's and don't need past 100% EPA. I use an Airtronics MT-4 transmitter.

I used an angle finder to set the throw to roughly 27 degrees (~1mm) from the c-hub. In doing this, I realized the left side has more throw than the right side. Trim is at zero. Subtrim is at R20. REV is normal.

With the EPA extended, I now have a tighter turning radius but is that the correct fix or do I have some other mechanical issue.
