Welcome.
On to the radio, make sure the knob in the front of the radio is fully turned clockwise. make sure the steering trim is centered and retest the steering L & R thow with the truck upside down so you can see how far it's steering. If you are still having trouble getting max steering to left and right you will need to reset your "steering end points"
End point adjustment is vaguely touched on in the radio manual.
DX2E - RTR - Manual (spm2330)
DX2E v.3 (spm2322)
DX2E Active - telemetry model (spm2335)

Seems the DX2E - RTR, the new DX2E Active and the and the D2XE v3 are different to access the EPA mode !
RTR radio- Hold the trigger in full reverse and the steering wheel to the right while switching radio on, green light starts flashing.
Release trigger, the radio is now in EPA mode.
(I have 3 rtr radios that work this way, if this don't work then try it without steering right)
Stand alone radio - Hold the trigger in full reverse while switching radio on, green light starts flashing.
Release trigger, the radio is now in EPA mode.

Here is how i do it-
RTR radio switched off, steering dual rate knob turned all the way up. Throttle and steering trims turn fully counter clockwise.
Power up truck and set it on the ground upside down, make sure its not going go anywhere, cause the radio is off!
Hold the trigger in full reverse and the steering wheel to the right while switching radio on, green light starts flashing.
Release trigger, the radio is now in EPA mode. Throttle and steering trims are now EPA adjustment knobs to be used in next few steps. Wheels on truck probably running cause the throttle trim is turned, thats why its upside down!
Turn down the throttle trim knob then hold throttle trigger at full forward speed, while holding down trigger turn throttle trim knob to set your desired maximum forward speed, then release throttle trigger. ( ignore what the wheels on your truck are doing after you release trigger because the throttle trim knob is turned up) forward EPA is now set. Wait a second or two for radio to record new setting.
Turn down the throttle trim knob then hold full reverse speed and adjust throttle trim knob again to set desired reverse max. speed. Release trigger and reverse EPA is now set. Wait two seconds again.
Turn throttle trim knob to the middle to stop wheels turning on upside down truck.
Turn down the steering trim knob then turn and hold steering control fully to the right, while holding adjust steering trim knob to set maximum desired steering angle, release steering control to center, right steering EPA is now set. Wait two seconds.
Turn down the steering trim knob then turn and hold steering to the left, adjust steering trim knob to desired maximum left steering angle then release steering control to center, left EPA is now set. Wait two seconds.
Now center the trim knobs and switch off the truck and radio, job done.
Now you can enjoy the full throttle and full steering angle available on the ascenders, mine was set at a reduced angle out of the box.

**Not sure if necessary but I have heard where some people may have to rebind the radio and receiver.
1. With the receiver off, insert the bind plug into the BIND port on the receiver.
2. Power the receiver through any other port. The green LED will flash continuously, indicating the receiver is in bind mode.
3. With the steering wheel and throttle trigger in the desired preset failsafe positions (see the Failsafe section on this page for more information), press and hold the bind button and turn on the transmitter. The green LED on the front of the transmitter will flash within three seconds, indicating the transmitter is in bind mode. Release the bind button when the green LED flashes. Continue to hold the failsafe positions until the binding process
is complete.
