I'm thinking it might be heavy load on the brake servo that causes the issue. I have my EPA set to a reasonable level but I'm going to try tweaking it a bit to see if I can make the problem go away. I can reproduce it every time with my current setup.
Some tests I might try:
-Disconnect brake servo completely, make sure my full steering range is there.
-Connect brake servo but disconnect the brake linkage
-Reduce the EPA on the brake servo
-Change the brake servo to a weaker one.
-Maybe even try running my existing setup on 3s to see if it's an issue with switching down from 6s.
Maybe my brake servo is just extreme overkill for this application, it didn't look like it on paper.
