Default Off the wall question for Hitec...

Okay, this may sound like a crazy question, but I have to ask...

I love my Lynx3D in just about every regard, but I'd very much like to find out if a modification is possible... what I want to do is to increase the throw of the steering wheel. As it looks now, the wheel moves something like 40 degrees each side of center.

What I'd like to have is the wheel move more like 70 to 90 degrees each side of center. I know this would require a different pot in the wheel, and some modification of the stops...

Would a mod like this be at all possible? What I'm after is to get less sensitivity around neutral, but still get full throw at the ends of the steering wheel throw, but without having to resort to using exponential. I can't tolerate the feel of expo, so the only way I can see to get the feel I want is by increasing the physical throw at the wheel.

Would this be possible?
