Default Steering for the firestorm 10T

hi guys, ive got my firestorm broke in and running great, the only thing is is my steering is slow and it doesnt turn the wheels very much. my brother just recently got a rc10gt2 and the steering servo turns the wheels great and sharp. what im wondering is should i just not worry about it b/c its normal for the firestorm or should i replace it with a high torqe servo and if so what would you guys recomend? links? i also just replaced the front bulkhead because of a bad landing, could i have done something to the servo saver?(i dont even know what a servo saver is) thanks for all the info you guys out there have already done.

As far sa the steering goes just put in a better servo. I changed mine and it fixed it.

Are you running double A or do you have a good receiver pack? Yes a good servo is all ways recommended in a RTR but a good reviver pack helps. When buying a servo torque is important but so is speed!

I put in a hi-tech 645mg. It cost $35 at my LHS. I also upgraded to a hump pack instead of the AA. That has helped out greatly.

How much are you welling to spend? A really good servo is not cheap. They cost from $70 to $130 for a really good one.

I am thinking about trying this one on my MT but if you have the poor stock radio that does not have end point setting you do not want to run a digital.

This one is good and is coreless but not digital
