Looking to upgrade the steering servo on my sons dex210, I have a savoy low profile 1252 in mine but to be be honest not that impressed as it seems to have reduced the amount of steering on the cari, don't know whether it is faulty !

However just hoping someone can suggest a fast alternative servo to use.

Thanks for your help

Spectrum 6040 I've always used and it pretty good in all 10th's I've run. I've found full size works best in all occasions if you have the room run one.

I'm sure there are many reputable brands out there which many people will no doubt be able to recommend. Futaba, KO and Sanwa have all been around for donkeys years and have great reputations.

I personally can say I'm still running a Sanwa unit which hasn't missed a beat in over 10 years. It might have been expensive new, but ultimately worth it :)

Have you checked the settings on your radio.

See if mb models still have any of the highest servos left on sale.
I picked up a couple of the mid spec Blue ones for 45 quid each, reduced from 95, been running one in my 410 for a year, it's my longest serving servo. So I've stocked up!

Also, depending what radio you have, it might be with avoiding certain power hungry servos (Spektrum don't play well with savöx in some applications.)

An idea of budget might help with some more suggestions! As I've heard the ko propo rsx are quite nice. ;)
