Default steering lock issues

hello

I seem to be having an issue with full steering lock to the left on my 22 with a Savox 1258.
it was fitted with the server dead center and my EPA is full but still i can not get full lock to the left. any body else having this?
I have used the kit supplied KO servo horn and am not using any spacers on the servo and am getting full clearance so nothing is rubbing

Does your Epa adjust beyond the 100%?

I had no lock on my 22, running a low profile savox. I think it needed to be wound up to 115% to get a decent lock.
Has the servo been lifted out of another car?

Now I have loads of steering

my EPA is up to 125 on a Spektrum DX2 and that's what I have it set to.

I bought the servo 2nd hand....
you think its possible there are settings left over from original owner?

Bizarrely I get full lock in one direction at 100% right and have to set the EPA to 150% for the left side to get the a similar amount of steering in , I'm also running a savox servo (full size 1257 with no spacers). Horn maybe a tooth out as I have Trim set to L13, it's something I need to check, even so...

Spektrum DX3S radio, and receiver.

I had exactly the same problem with my 1258. I fitted the servo horn one spline to the left and then adjusted the track rod arms to suit worked a treat also leave your remote at 120%
