I have a Kraton 6s V5 RTR. It is fully stock as far as the electronics are concerned, aside from a DX3 transmitter and receiver that I bought from Jenny's RC out of an Outcast 6s EXB. It still has the stock ESC, motor and servo.
The issue I'm having is that the steering will not turn to full right lock. It will turn to full left lock no problem, but not full right. We bought the K6S for our dog to chase, and the lack of right steering makes it difficult to out maneuver her, so I just end up going in a big counter-clockwise oval.
With the truck turned off, I can manually turn the wheels/servo to full left and right lock with no issue, so there's no problem with the hardware as far as binding or maxing out the steering travel.
I tried to set steering endpoints both on the transmitter and through the Spektrum Dashboard app, but never had any luck. On the Spektrum Dashboard app, I max out left turning at ~93% travel, but right steering won't move past ~80% travel. The first pic shows an underside view of how close the left steering plate gets to the lower A-arm. The second pic shows an underside view of how much further away the right steering plate is from the lower A-arm.
I tried moving the servo arm one notch so the "centered" position starts further right, but when I did that had to crank my steering trim fully left to get the truck to go nearly straight, leaving no room for adjustment.
I also considered adjusting the turnbuckles to shift the "centered" position further right, but I'd run into the same issue regarding not having enough steering trim and the steering turn buckles were already at their minimum length, so there was no room for adjustment. The third pic shows that the steering turn buckles are already at their shortest length.
I'm looking for advice on what might give me full steering operation. I plan on upgrading to a more powerful servo once the stock S652 dies, but I don't want to shell out money until I really need to.
Thanks
