Hey guys here is my new problem. I have the cen mug midtank with the flm ext tvps. The problem I'm having now is to get it to tirn left and right I have to turn the wheel let off and turn the wheel. I have a hump pack brand new and fully charged and also a hitec 645 ng steering servo. I also did just install the dx3r but that radio has me lost lol. Any help would be grateful also I forgot to mention I do have the Savage Suspension Conversion Set

Check that the servo saver isn't engaging so you know that nothing is binding that will stop the steering from going further. How did you mount your servo? If you used the stock linkage arm, then it will be at an angle that can bind. If not then it may just be your EPA. Check that the servo goes each way 100% without the servo saver engaging. Are the batteries fully charged?

The hump pack is fully charged. I do notice when I do turn the servo saver does pop up. Do I need to tighten the spring ? Yes i'm using the stock linkage and the servo is mounted to the TVP

Yes. Try tightening it first. If it still engages then you somewhere that is binding. I would upgrade the stock plastic arm to a longer turnbuckle arm kit (I know my LHS sells them w/ just a turnbuckle and two cups.). Definitely helps with any binding there along with a nicer look.

Something like this:

I don't have one yet. I just noticed it when I set up my steering servo the same way the other day. Turns out I need to flip the servo around and get a longer arm so that it doesn't bind as bad with a shorter arm.
