Yes a batt pack would make your steering servo react a bit better.Or lower your rear end and raise your front end that will also give you better steering and better rear traction. I have on my revo an Airtronics 358 servo it has good torque and speed. Hope this helps.

I run a jrsport 126MG hi torque steering servo and have never had a problem no matter what my tires were stuck in. I've had my front wheels rim deep in thick wet mud and still was able to turn them without a problem. I use a 5 cell hump pack and have never had a problem with power. Another good servo is the HiTec 645MG a lot of crawlers use that for their front and rear wheel steering.

+1 on the hitec 645mg steering servo!!! I run 2 of them in my 1/8 buggy and they are a great servo for the money!!

I just put a Airtonics 94358Z metal gear servo on my Maxx, it has around 200oz. of torq and it will push my 7" IMEX K-Rock Cralwer Tires when the truck is just sittin on the kitchen table or the floor. definately worth the investment.
