I hear you Landhsark. The first thing I noticed on the savage was that the steering servo was very weak even though it said it was a high torque servo. I later bought a high speed and high torque servo from Hobby town and the steering is much faster and stronger. I remember that when I placed the truck on the ground the wheels would not turn left or right. They moved just a little. Now with this new servo, the wheels move left and right with no prob. or stress on the servo saver, I also bought a water proof casing for the servo just in case. I do recommend that you change it out for a better one. A really good servo will set you back about 60-70 bucks and the casing will back about 10-15 bucks. Good luck
