Default Servo suggestions

I want to change out the slow and weak servos in my sons Exceed Forza. Any suggestions on mfgs. that make quality servos that will fit this car? I definitely want speed and metal gears for the steering.

Thanks!

My all time favorite servo for a 1/10 scale buggy....Tower Hobbies TS-140 High Speed Servo with Metal Gears and Dual Ball Bearings $25.99
Sure you can find the fastest servos costing twice or three times as much as the TS-140. I used it in my Associated B4 when I used to race. A really good quality digital servo that lasts, the TS-140 is hard to beat. I have been using it since 2006ish with only changing the gears once that I remember. Heck, I even used it in my Stadium Truck for a while.
Specs:
4.8V 6.0V
Speed: 0.18 sec @ 60 0.13 sec @ 60
Torque: 65 oz-in (4.7 kg/cm) 82 oz-in (5.9 kg/cm)
Length: 1.6 (41mm)
Width: 0.8 (20mm)
Height: 1.5 (38mm)
Weight: 1.9oz (53g)
Connector: Universal
25T Spline

Can be found on eBay, Omni Models, and of course Tower Hobbies

No problem. Here is a link if you want to study awhile .... Servo Database .... it doesn't have every servo that is out there, but it's a place to start to comparing.
