Softer springs, stronger servo, lighter shock oil, better tires. Make sure your servo saver isn't too loose. Sometimes when we can't get enough steering, we run Crime Fighters on the front, and Bow Ties on the back. We call it "Bow-fighters" and it works well if you can't find enough steering.

A stronger faster servo. 100+ oz and .15 speed.

Hobbico servos are made by Hitec and Futaba.

The servo saver is a spring loaded connection between your servo and the steering. Look it up in your manual, it will explain how it works. If it's too loose, it will let your wheels move more than the servo is allowing.
