Default Hyper 7 servo help please

I have recently purchased a Hyper 7 PBS PCR, I have noticed throughout the posts I have searched, that the steering servo on this buggy is not exactly the best. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good servo? If this has been asked before, please excuse me. This is my first buggy and I am kinda new to the r/c thing.(started in dec. 04 with a tmaxx). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same buggy and run the Airtronics 94358 in mine. Tons of torque, 200oz @ 6.0volts. No doubt that it moves the wheels around, but I find I do pay a penalty with decreased battery run time. You may want to get a slightly faster servo than this one, with still a decent amount of torque. After all, I don't need this much torque, but i want this much torque.

JR z650m - it's not as expensive as an Airtronics, but it's is strong enough and has metal gears.

You could probably get a Revo servo cheap off ebay.. 80oz of tourque for around $10. Not the best choice but it has economy going for it.
