Having just done the 20kg servo in my Granite... I can attest that it is an entirely different machine. No more wandering, no more constant fiddling with steering trims, and grass and asphalt handling is superb, and dirt handling is much more predictable.
Its actually slower than the stock 7kg with no load... but under load is where it actually matters. Plus, adjusting the toe-in can compensate for the loss of over-all servo speed if you're really looking to get the truck to handle better.
All-in-all, the servo alone will only make it better in strength and repeatability/predictability. To really make it handle better you're changing diff fluid, aluminum turn-buckles, aluminum steering bell crank with bearings, and getting the slop out of your stub axles... maybe swapping wheels and tires.
That being said... all those mods won't be as good as they can be without a good, strong servo to push them around.
20-25kg should be the bare-minimum on any 3S or higher RC. The stock one is purely in there to meet a $300 price point.
AimlessRC - Care to share a picture of the Servo you upgrade to mate and what kind or if ya got a pix?
