Just got a hpi savage x 4.6 and immediately noticed the steering servo is largely underpowered and i want to repace it before it breaks. I am new to nitro and rc all aroumd.Need help deciding on the right servo to get to upgrade my truck,please bare with me as i am a tottal noob,will i be able to get a new servo and instal it plug it and start driving?,should i get a new throttle servo as well? Aslo is there any other upgrades i should look into,i live in hawaii and its all lava rock,should i upgrade the plastic gears to metal,spur gear and drive gear? I plan on keeping this truck for life and want to build it to be completely awewome with what ever upgrades i can do that are worth it i just dont know what they are yet,also I'm a car mechanic for work so i know how fix and take apart things

These are a decent servo that work well on 6V:

300oz/in @6V and waterproof.

I ran a single one in my brushless revo for quite a while with 3.8" trenchers on it. It had plenty of power. I run one now on my stampede 4x4 with 3.8" LP MT tires on it and it works well.
 
A bit slower than the one I mentioned, but 100oz/in more torque. I don't know what "stock" was as I never used stock servos on any savage I had.
