Default bad servo???

i have stock servos on my savage 25 and they have really been a pain lately. with fresh batterys they hardly have enough power to engage the brake, the turning is slow and doesnt work good, it twitches, and the batterys go dead fast. any ideas? new servos? -thanks

if u don't already have a battery pack to put into the truck for the servos get one that will help u out. also get a new steering servo a high torque one then when u get it take out ur old steering servo put in the new one then take the stock steering servo and put it where ur throttle and brake servo goes and the turning will be better and the breaking but u should definitly get a batery pack that makes a big power difference

Just got my first rc... Savage X... pretty cool if the servos worked. Anyone got any ideas? I have tried three different hump packs and the battery holder and switched the batteries in the radio. There is like no power. If I lift the front end the wheels move but not if they are on the ground. I'll take any suggestions thanks![&o]
