To increase to 150 in the reciever?
You can go to a longer servo arm and use a hole further from the center of rotation, making the servo move the push-rod more per degree of rotation.
Anything beyond 40 deg of rudder deflection is not as effective for increasing steering (per degree) turn as for increasing drag. So if you are already getting that much rudder you may not gain much from increasing the rudder deflection.
Adding rudder area of course helps, but that isn't practical here, since it would mess up the scale appearance.
Since you'll usually have more issues trying to turn right than left, you could try shimming the motor mount to have a little more right-thrust.
If its from trying to taxi in a crosswind, you might just have to pick up the airplane. there is some maximum crosswind where you just can't keep the wind from turning the airplane to turn into the wind.FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.
current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

PS. I maidened mine today and with servo travel at 100% and high rudder rate at 100% and full UP, ground handling was more than adequate. This plane is very light on its tail as compared to my much heavier FMS 1700mm Corsair, so it does require UP on the elevator or the tail wheel won't track well.
