Installed the new savox servo in the mini b. Moved the servo up further by using longer screws and nuts. Have the same problem still. I don't get full left or right. I messed with everything in my radio with end points and steering trim. I am using a servo horn thingy that came with the kit since the stock losi one did not fit. I also tried to get that servo horn mostly center to the best I could. I had loosen some of the bell crank and steering rack screws to see if that made a difference and it didn't. I am running out of ideas. Any other thoughts guys? Don't get me wrong micro and mini rcs are fun but a pain to work on since how small the parts are. My thought is it is the servo horn. Might buy a custom printed one or have someone print one for me.

Maybe this would work: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3342140685...SrZxy0JMg4Nx/A7ewqxCmiLf1A==|tkp:BFBMiIrT26Nh

This is servo mount and horn. This is for the sh 0265 and 0264 mg but should work with the sh0255.

You need a longer horn. Does that servo mount have higher mounting holes for the servo? If so, raise it up abd get a longer horn. With the servo horn centered, you want the steering arm level with the chassis. The problem is once your servo horn and steering arm are directly inline with each other, you have no more travel. See pic.

And make sure all your screws in the bellcranks are tight. I see a lot of play there, which is robbing you of travel.

With the stock mounts yes. I have it on the lowest setting because I am trying to align that steering arm.

Just tighten up all of the bell crank screws

Here's the problem I can't find any of those longer steering arms. The only thing I could possibly do is get a horn like the eBay one I linked above.
 
@Greywolf74 has a Mini-B. Maybe he put a Savox in his and has a solution.

Or check Amazon for 21t servo horns...

I have a mini b and that same servo for it but I have not gotten around to installing it so I havent messed with it. The servo should have come with different length horns though. In this case I'm going to be learning from him :)
