You said perfectly samnelso.

osavage1, I would disconnect the servo linkage from the servo horn and move the steering by using fingers and see how far YOU (your fingers) can turn the tires using the ball cup (circled in photo) from the servo horn. See if you can get full lock, left & right, just by using your fingers.
