what futaba servo you using on the steering?...if its a 3003 or equivelent I would do one of 2 things....I would either buy a new 9003 (I believe that is the #) from redcat or what not that is for the steering on 1/8ths or I would buy a hitec 645mg (if you buy a hitec u will need to change the servo horn as well)....I have a 1/10th truggy and didnt like the small servo on it and had a new stock servo off my 1/8th buggy that I upgraded so I stuck it on my truggy, problem solved...
