Weak Steering servos? is just me?

I got my xmod on Monday.
I was sold on the AWD system.
Once I installed the AWD set up w/ ball bearings too... my steering is pathetic! it will not steer all the way either left or right, and there is nothing obstructing movement...
even if I hold the car up, wheels in the air, give it throttle, and try to steer, it just can't turn all the way not even half way, and yes I have checked the steering range setting on the controler.
Any one else have this problem?
I have removed both the upper and lower screws holding the knuckles on to reduce any binding... seems just as smooth, but still no good.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Shrubba

maybe some thing didnt slide together properly, take it apart and put it back together and see if you notice any thing out of place

I guess my servo is fried or just doesn't work. I have problems with my alignment and Drakeon4450 assisted me with a step by step process last night on trying to fix it. Worked great until I acctually drove it. So I'm taking it back tomorrow and seeing what options I get...maybe I'll get a Supra instead of my Skyline....
