Default Servo travel?

Hey fellas, need your help.

I have an MBX6TE and I'm setting up the mechanical brake on a 3rd channel. I'm trying to limit the travel on it, it's binding pretty bad. I'm adjusting the EPA but that does nothing. The radio is a Futaba 3PK. I only need about 50% of servo travel. Any help will be appreciated.

can you adjust the linkage so the servo needs to turn a higher degree?
or turn the servo arm on the servo so it starts farther from the brake position

if the epa changes nothing on the servo, then you might be adjusting the wrong epa

The EPA adjustment is not enough, I guess I'll play with the servo arm and see what I can come up with. Just wanted it to look clean.

No, it's on the 3rd channel. I'm using it as a slave to channel 2 which is throttle.

Are you setting up a programmable mix? If so you need to limit the EPA on the brake part of the 2nd channel.
