Default Want to upgrade steering servo- what should I get?

I want to upgrade my steering servo on my t-maxx, what model servo should I replace it with and what accseories would make the most out of a new servo? I have a budget of $50, but will go over if needed But please, lets try to find a budget servo that will give me better preformance at a good price showl we. Oh yeah, I have a 1400mah reciever pack to power it if that helps!

I dented my header of my ths pipe a little bit today, should I buy a new one, I dont want to, and the dent is really small, will it matter? Wow... thats a lot of commas I just wrote!

which one is better?
What kind of difference can I expect in my handling, and/or steering strenth with each servo?
What is the difference between the stock and those servos other than metal gears, how do metal gears help?
Sorry for all the questions!

Get the Hitec 645
It has 130 oz of torque
The stock one has less than half the torque.
So they new one will save wieght and still be stronger.

You will have better steering and it will be a little quicker than the stock.
Also with a single servo the reciever battery will last longer on a charge.

Metal gears just make it more durable and it wont wear or strip like the plastic ones on the stok servo.
