Default 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?

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
