Freddie makes a good point.
If it's problematic in one direction only - perhaps you can change the length of the drag link to help overcome the issue?

I have seen one case with a Futaba Tx whereby the Tx could not reach the appropriate EPA needed to max out the travel with a Low Profile Servo.

Agreed that it is very critical and ideally, a longer servo arm would probably overcome most ills but things are very snug in and around the front end.

I've not had a problem that I couldn't overcome with my Spektrum Tx and I know others with KOs also have no problem - but if your Tx doesn't or won't go to 150% throw then maybe you will find the lock you need by altering the drag link and offsetting the horn slightly on the spline.

Alternatively - as I said before, the 4mm trailing axles from the SCT will actually help overcome the issue whilst smoothing out the steering response at the same time - so it might be worth investigating these. I know many of the Team drivers like the added feel they get with the 4mm trailing axles.
