RE: How to Replace throtle Servo
To remove the steering servo(which has more power than the brake/throttle servo) you can remove the front skid plate. The four screws on the brake throttle servo are located on the top of the servo inside of the battery box.
just remove the servo horn and the four screws holding it down and you should be able to pop it up.
hope that helps.

No need to remove skidplates...I just used a long screwdriver to get to those screws.
Like many have said before, the stock steering servo is more powerful than the stock throttle servo, thus why we said to put the stock steering servo into the throttle servo position.

once I get those four screws off the steering servo from the BOTTOM, The servo will just fall out, and then just add the new one in its place, and do the same with the throttle from the top and switch the two stock servos?

that is pretty much it. You might have to pull on it a bit to get it out but it will come out fairly easily. And, when I say pull I dont mean with a tool, I mean a light tug with your fingers.

Before attaching the servo arm, center up the steering trim on your transmitter, and turn your RX and TX on so that the servo will center, then make the wheels as straight as you can and press the servo arm onto the servo...
