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. 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
Very good summation, but it will vary based on overall set-up. Tire choice, spring rate and caster/camber will play a HUGE role in how your low-speed circles look.

Drive the car, and examine your low-speed circles after getting used to the feel of the car. I've found that when using black or grey fronts my circles are always tighter than they are for a given set-up than they are when using magenta or pink fronts. The way different componds react under high speed load determines this. Pink/purple family tires seem to generate more grip under high load conditions compared to grey/black rubber. JMHO.
