RE: steering servo problem
A servo moving slow isn't the same as a servo that doesn't center the steering. Sounds like either your servo has internal damage, or there's some sort of binding in the steering parts.
Once you have the speed where it should be, you center your radio trim, turn on the power, and set your servo horn for 90degs to either side of the required travel. (that sounds wrong, but I am failing to think of better wording).
If the wheels arn't centered after that, you may need to adjust your tie-rod lengths, unless it's very minor, and then you just use your steering Trim.
